How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'a la plancha' (grilled/pan-seared) or 'al vapor' (steamed) instead of fried (if fried, ask for no breading). Omit all starchy sides (rice, plantains, yuca, potatoes). Request a double portion of low-carb vegetables or a side salad with oil and vinegar. Confirm no sugary sauces or marinades.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces, starchy vegetable sides, high-carb sauces.
