How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no rice, beans, or plantains. Request extra onions and bell peppers if possible. Confirm no sugary sauces or glazes are used in the cooking process.
Watch out for
Onions contain natural sugars that caramelize during cooking; some restaurants might add a small amount of sugar to enhance this. Marinades can have trace carbs. The primary risk is traditionally served starchy sides.
