How to make it keto
Request no sugary marinades, confirm no flour in the butter sauce. Substitute traditional rice, tostones, or amarillos with steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans. Ensure vegetables are cooked in olive oil or butter, not sugar-laden sauces.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in butter sauce or marinades, high-carb sides if not explicitly substituted, vegetables cooked with sweet glazes.
