What it is
Tender chayote halves, hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of low-carb vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers, often bound with a little cheese or egg, then baked until golden. A satisfying vegetarian keto option.
Key ingredients
Chayote, spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, garlic, olive oil, cream cheese or mozzarella (optional), herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no high-carb vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, peas, or corn) in the stuffing. Ask for a generous amount of cheese or butter in the filling for added fat.
Watch out for
Inclusion of higher-carb vegetables in the stuffing. Sauces with added sugar or flour as thickeners. Excessive use of high-carb aromatics like onion.
