How to make it keto
Explicitly order 'unpaniert' (unbreaded) or 'Natur Schnitzel'. Ask for no potato (Kartoffeln), fries (Pommes), or Spätzle sides. Request a green salad with oil and vinegar dressing, ensuring no croutons or sugary dressings.
Watch out for
Standard breaded version, sugary sauces (e.g., cranberry sauce, mushroom cream sauce for Jägerschnitzel), high-carb salad dressings, potatoes/Spätzle as standard sides.
