What it is
Flavorful chunks of marinated meat (pork, lamb, or chicken) grilled on skewers until tender and slightly charred. The marinade typically uses onions, vinegar, and spices. Served with fresh or grilled keto-friendly vegetables instead of traditional potato or rice sides.

How to make it keto
Confirm the marinade is sugar-free. Request no sugary glazes after grilling. Ask for grilled vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms) or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead of starchy sides.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, sugary basting sauces, starchy side dishes (potatoes, rice, bread), certain vegetable skewers (corn).
