Stuffed Eggplant (Keto)
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Halved eggplants are hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of seasoned ground meat (beef, pork, or chicken), sautéed vegetables like onions and bell peppers, and often topped with cheese, then baked until tender and golden. This dish is inherently keto-friendly as long as the stuffing is free of high-carb fillers like breadcrumbs or rice.

Optional tweaks
Confirm the stuffing does not contain rice, breadcrumbs, or other starches. Ask for extra cheese if desired.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs or rice used as fillers in the stuffing mixture, sauces with added sugar.
