Pargo Assado no Forno (Keto)
Roasted Red Snapper with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole red snapper (or similar white fish) expertly roasted in the oven, often with a simple preparation of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and lemon. This keto option emphasizes the flavorful fish and replaces starchy potatoes with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole red snapper, olive oil, garlic, onion, bell peppers, small amount of tomatoes, herbs (e.g., bay leaf, parsley), lemon.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes. Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables such as green beans, broccoli, or a larger portion of bell peppers and onions (mindful of carb count from large quantities of these).
Watch out for
Potatoes are a traditional accompaniment. Onions and bell peppers contribute carbs. Sauces may contain thickeners or added sugars.
