Tostones de Berenjena (Estilo Keto)
Fried Eggplant Slices (Keto Style, Twice-Fried)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially ensure no plantain is used. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Thick slices of eggplant are twice-fried and flattened, resembling traditional plantain tostones, then seasoned with garlic salt or a fresh garlic mojo. A fantastic keto alternative to high-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, olive oil or lard for frying, garlic, salt, bitter orange or lime juice (for mojo).
How to make it keto
Crucially ensure no plantain is used. Confirm eggplant is not breaded or dusted with flour. Request with garlic mojo made from olive oil and sour orange/lime, no sugar.
Watch out for
Restaurants might bread or dust with flour. Fried eggplant absorbs a lot of oil, increasing fat and calories. Small carb content from eggplant itself.
