Morrones Asados
Roasted Bell Peppers
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Whole bell peppers (usually red or yellow) roasted until tender and slightly charred, then peeled and marinated in olive oil, garlic, and sometimes a touch of vinegar. A simple, delicious, and naturally keto side dish or appetizer.
Key ingredients
Red/yellow bell peppers, olive oil, garlic, white wine vinegar (optional), fresh parsley, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no sugar is added to the marinade, which is generally not typical but worth checking in a restaurant setting. Otherwise, this dish is naturally keto.
Watch out for
Minimal, but some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to the marinade for balance. Bell peppers do contain natural sugars, so portion control is advised for strict keto.
