Optional tweaks
No specific modifications are typically needed as it's inherently keto-friendly. Just ensure it's not served with bread or other high-carb accompaniments.
Watch out for
Often served with bread, which must be omitted. Some may add carrots or other root vegetables, which should be avoided if possible.
