Polvo à Lagareiro (Polvo Assado com Acompanhamentos Keto)
Roasted Octopus with Garlic & Olive Oil (Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for no potatoes (sem batatas). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender, roasted octopus bathed in generous amounts of olive oil and garlic. Traditionally served with 'punched potatoes' (batatas a murro), this keto adaptation omits the potatoes and instead pairs the octopus with roasted bell peppers or a large green salad.
Key ingredients
Octopus, olive oil, garlic, bay leaves, salt, pepper. Served with roasted bell peppers (pimentos assados) or a green salad.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no potatoes (sem batatas). Request roasted low-carb vegetables like bell peppers or a side salad.
Watch out for
Bell peppers contribute some carbs. Garlic in large quantities. Some chefs might pre-marinate octopus with sugar, though unlikely for this traditional dish.
