How to make it keto
Specify no rice, beans, tortillas, plantains, or yuca. Request meats to be prepared with simple salt, pepper, and garlic, avoiding sugary marinades. Ensure roasted vegetables are non-starchy and cooked in oil or butter.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, hidden starches in rubs, cross-contamination with high-carb sides on a mixed grill plate, inclusion of starchy vegetables like potatoes or corn.
