Lamb, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper. Keto sides: steamed broccoli, spinach, or grilled zucchini.
How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Pečenu janjetinu molim bez krompira, šargarepe i ostalog skrobnog povrća. Umesto toga, dajte mi zeleno povrće poput spanaća ili grilovanih tikvica.
Pečena Janjetina without potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables, please. I'd like green vegetables like spinach or grilled zucchini instead.
Watch out for
Potatoes/root vegetables as standard sides. Potential for sugary glazes or sauces (less common with traditional roasts, but possible).
