How to make it keto
Explicitly request no roasted potatoes or rice ('sem batatas assadas ou arroz'). Ask for grilled or steamed non-starchy vegetables or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
Roasted potatoes or rice as standard sides. Marinades could potentially contain a small amount of sugar, though less common for traditional lamb roasts.
