This tasty low carb version of the traditional Thanksgiving “mac and cheese” side dish substitutes cauliflower for macaroni, with the addition of pumpkin for a seasonal twist and bacon. Because, of course, it’s bacon. Potatoes au gratin are a high carb staple of Thanksgiving dinner, but you’ll love this low carb cheesy zucchini version.
Not all low-carb soups are keto appropriate. In this case, a veggie packed soup may have too many carbs for the strict counters, but for general low-carb eaters, there's a lot to like in this soup. First, it has all the comfort of chicken noodle, but with far fewer carbs.
Promise. These easy keto side dishes offer up lots of ways to cook veggies in a way that’s absolutely delicious. They are naturally gluten-free and have under 10 net carbs (most under 5!), but they are also versatile enough for the whole family, even if they are not low carb.
Many of our readers have reported that it makes a fabulous keto side dish for a BBQ or potluck. This is an easy keto side dish recipe to make substitutions too, for Thanksgiving we used half broccoli and half cauliflower. You can also change the type of nuts, mix in dried low carb fruit, change the type of cheese or use ham instead of bacon.
