Lemon and Garlic Cabbage

About

This simple Keto cabbage makes a delicious quick, and easy side, loaded with flavor and healthy fats. Our low carb side dish is prepared with shredded white cabbage, creamy ghee, tender white onion, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. The ingredients are simply pan-fried gently until the cabbage is tender, then tossed with lemon juice to finish. Perfect served hot with your preferred Keto mains.

Can I Make This Vegan?

We have cooked our cabbage dish in a hearty helping of ghee to provide both fats and flavor. If you would like to make the dish vegan, you can easily swap the cooking fat. You can use either olive oil or coconut oil, or even a combination of the two. You can also use a Keto-friendly plant-based spread if preferred. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Serving Suggestions

Our quick and easy Keto cabbage recipe makes a versatile side option for a variety of meals. You can serve the cabbage alongside a protein of your choice, such as roasted chicken or lamb chops. You can also use the shredded cooked cabbage as a ‘noodle base’ and top it with your favorite low carb pasta toppings and sauces!
