Say this to the waiter (Macedonian)
Ве молам без шеќерни маринади или панирање. Сакам со кето-пријателски зеленчук како прилог.
Please ensure no sugary marinades or breading. I'd like it with keto-friendly side vegetables.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces (though less common for this simple preparation), potential for cornstarch thickeners if a sauce is added.
