97 keto sides: mash, rice, bread and vegetables rebuilt without the starch, sized to sit next to whatever else is on the plate. Pick one to go with something from dinner.
Net carbs are per serving as written, and the main course is not counted in them. A bigger scoop or a sauce over the top is adjusted by you.

Cauliflower is the workhorse here, as mash where the potato used to be and as rice under anything with sauce. Radish and shredded cabbage take over when cauliflower turns watery. Around that sit roasted broccoli, green beans, brussels sprouts and asparagus, slaws and cold salads that keep a day. A small set of almond flour rolls or biscuits for when bread is what you actually miss.
The sides are usually where a keto dinner falls apart. Potatoes, rice, corn and a dinner roll can each cost more net carbs than the main they came with, and a glazed carrot is closer to dessert than a vegetable. Every side here carries its own net carbs and its own time, so you can add one without guessing at the total. Finish your meal with a sauce made without sugar rather than a bottled glaze.
