How to make it keto
Confirm no sugary rubs, glazes, or marinades are used. Strictly no rice, beans, or starchy root vegetables. Request roasted non-starchy vegetables (like broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, onions) as a side.
Watch out for
Sugary rubs or glazes are the main concern. While onions and bell peppers contain carbohydrates, in moderate roasted portions, they are usually keto-friendly. Ensure no potatoes or plantains are accidentally included with the roasted vegetables.
