About
These deliciously tender radishes make a great low carb side, packed with fats and flavor. Our Keto-friendly vegetable side dish is prepared with crisp fresh radishes, creamy butter, tangy parmesan cheese, aromatic garlic and fresh chives. These are a great low carb alternative to potatoes, perfect served with your favorite Keto mains.
Can I Make This Vegan?
We have cooked our radishes in a hearty helping of butter for both fats and flavor, and tossed the vegetables with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. If you would like to make the recipe vegan-friendly, you can simply swap the butter for coconut oil or olive oil. You can also swap the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast to add a plant-based ‘cheese’ flavor. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Serving Suggestions
