4. Savvy Swaps: Tasty Veggies for Carb-Heavy Side Dishes
Making over your favorite carb-heavy side dishes? Ditch the unnecessary carbs and pile on the veggies instead! Here are four easy swaps that can brighten up your meals like never before:
Swap Mashed Potatoes for Spaghetti Squash. Mashed potatoes, whether made with real potatoes or instant potato flakes, can pack up a hefty load of extra carbs. But by swapping out the mashed potatoes for spaghetti squash, you can still get that creamy, comforting texture, without the heavy carbs. Don’t worry – it might look intimidating, but it’s actually really easy to make:
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, and then scoop out the seeds.
- Brush the halves with a bit of oil and seasonings, if desired.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down onto a baking sheet, and bake in the oven until the squash is tender (about 30 minutes).
- Once the squash is fully cooked, scrape out the “noodles” with a fork.
- Toss the noodles with your favorite sauce or seasoning for a delicious, low-carb dish!
Swap Rice for Cauliflower Rice. Rice, regardless of whether it is white, brown, or yellow, is packed with too many carbohydrates. But by swapping out the rice for cauliflower rice, you can still enjoy the same texture and flavors without the excess carbs. The best part? Cauliflower rice is an incredibly versatile side dish that pairs perfectly with a variety of proteins and veggies. Here’s how to make it:
- Grind about 4 cups of raw cauliflower florets into small, rice-sized pieces, using either a food processor or a box grater.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the riced cauliflower and a pinch of salt to the skillet.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is lightly browned and cooked through.
- Season with additional salt, seasonings, or herbs.
Swap French Fries for Roasted Radishes. French fries are the ultimate comfort food, but they are packed with carbs and empty calories. Enter roasted radishes: the same shape and size of a french fry, but filled with much more fiber and antioxidants. Plus, they have a delicious buttery flavor that still packs a crunchy bite. Try to cut the radishes in uniformly-sized pieces for the best flavor and texture. Here’s what to do:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Rinse the radishes and cut them into french fry pieces.
- Toss them with a tablespoon of oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Spread the radishes evenly in a large baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping once after 10 minutes, until the radishes are lightly browned and crisp.
5. Busting Myths: Low Carb Doesn’t Mean Boring Food
One of the biggest misconceptions about a low-carb diet is that it is unexciting and boring. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! With a little creativity and innovation, you can make amazing meals that are both low-carb and extremely satisfying. Here are some ingredient guidelines to help you make low-carb meals:
- Focus on protein sources like fish, poultry, eggs and tofu
- Choose low-starch veggies like kale, spinach, and cauliflower
- Including some “healthy fat” like olive oil, avocado and coconut oil
- Load up on herbs and spices to add flavor
These ingredients can be the source of some incredibly flavorful meals. For example, try braising spinach and mushrooms with garlic and olive oil, baking cod in a mango salsa, or creating a flavorful frittata with bell peppers, onions, spinach and feta cheese. These meals are not only low-carb but highly delicious.
If you’re looking to spice things up, there are also plenty of low-carb recipes available online that make a keto diet feasible for the long-term. You can find simple recipes for everything from pizza and noodles to sandwiches and desserts. Just be sure to read the ingredients to insure that all recipes are low-carb friendly.
Bottom line – a low-carb diet does not have to be boring! You can still enjoy flavorful meals, satisfying snacks, and delicious desserts while still cutting down on carbs.
6. Concluding Thoughts on Low-Carb Veggie Creation
Creating tasty low-carb veggie meals can be incredibly rewarding. You don’t need to sacrifice taste to maintain a balanced diet. The key is to get creative with flavors, textures and ingredients.
Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts can all wonderously bulk up a meal with high amounts of fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Roast, steam, saute, or mix them into your favorite sauces and dressings for added flavor and nutrition.
Mushrooms: With a smoky flavor and meaty texture, mushrooms can really make a low-carb meal shine. Try stuffing large mushrooms for an explosion of flavor. Saute up a medley of morel and portobello mushrooms for a umami punch-packed culinary delight.
