Запечені кабачки з м'ясом (Keto Stuffed Zucchini)
Keto Baked Zucchini with Ground Meat
Yes, with a tweak: ensure NO RICE in the ground meat filling. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Zucchini halves or thick slices are hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of ground meat, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and sometimes other vegetables, then baked until tender and often topped with cheese and sour cream. For a keto version, any rice in the filling must be omitted.
Key ingredients
Zucchini, ground beef or pork, onions, bell pepper, garlic, tomato paste (minimal), cheese (e.g., mozzarella or feta), sour cream, cooking oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure NO RICE in the ground meat filling. Request extra low-carb vegetables (like mushrooms or more bell pepper) if possible instead of rice. Confirm no sugary tomato sauce or glaze.
Watch out for
Rice is a very common ingredient in the filling for stuffed zucchini. Sugary tomato sauces or excessive high-carb vegetables can also be a risk.
