About this category

Grilling is naturally keto-friendly, since meat, fish and vegetables need no breading. The hidden carbs usually come from barbecue sauces, ketchup and sweet rubs, which often contain plenty of sugar. That is why this category includes a grill rub without sugar and a barbecue marinade you can mix yourself, alongside dishes like grilled pork neck steaks, shashlik and planked salmon.

Sides deserve attention too. Coleslaw dressed with mayonnaise and vinegar instead of a sweet dressing replaces potato salad, and grilled vegetable foil packets with zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms cook right next to the meat. Bell peppers and onions carry more carbs than leafy greens, so balance them with lower-carb vegetables if you are counting closely.

Marinate meat several hours ahead or overnight for better flavor, and pat it dry before it hits the grate to get a good crust. Use indirect heat for thicker cuts and soak wooden planks in water before grilling fish on them. Keep cold sides chilled until serving, especially those with mayonnaise, and bring them out only when the food comes off the grill.
