How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Confirm marinade is low sugar or vinegar-based (traditional marinades are often fine). Request no starchy sides like potatoes, rice, or bread. Opt for grilled bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms instead. Ensure no sugary glaze is applied after grilling.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, hidden sugar in accompanying sauces, and the standard starchy vegetable sides (potatoes, corn) or bread often served with grilled meats.
