Low-Carb Vegetable That Goes with Barbecue?

[Count Porcula]

What's the best low-carb vegetable to go with barbecue? I know the whole idea is disgusting, but sometimes you don't want 4,000 calories for lunch.

Sometimes.

I like slaw. I use lankato monkfruit sweetener in it.

Also green beans are low(ish) carb

We love broccoli, not sure if it is low carb, but it seems to go with anything.

My fave is wilted spinach. Brussels sprouts are also high on the list. Roasted carrots are delish too.

Beans, slaw, and asparagus most often, sometimes a salad. RAY

We will make asparagus or mashed cauliflower. i will also make the cowboy baked beans using black soy beans

 

[TNJAKE]

Bacon wrapped asparagus

 

[Count Porcula]

Slaw! So obvious!

Did Keto a year or so ago. Broccoli is a staple, green beans are fine, cauliflower is fine too. If you want something a little different, you can mash the cauliflower or mash it mixed with celery root.

Carrots are a no go.

Fresh veg with BBQ is a real thing to make it the next level.......

Grilled onions, cauliflower steaks, broccoli, tomato burrata salad, tomatoes, pickles, slaw, seared tomatoes, CI seared brussel sprouts....... I could go on...but now I'm hungry for some grilled veg now!

Collard greens! I like a nice shot of malt vinegar in mine.

I like this post. Nothing wrong with some great veggies with BBQ. The best veggies I had in my life were done on an open fire and it was just as good as the prime ribeye.

As mentioned from a lunch standpoint Cole slaw or broccoli salad are two good ones. I do a warm cabbage salad. Fried cabbage is an option. Roasted radishes or more complex dishes that emulate cheese potatoes are an option. Search my posts and you will find TONS of sides all of which are low carb.

I think slaw will be fine. I can buy a bag of the pre-shredded stuff for pennies and add whatever. Then I could nuke some corn on the cob and be done.

Ordinarily, it would be corn, potatoes, Texas toast, mac and cheese...

Grilled portabella mushrooms...season like steak. When done, pull them off and drizzle with a little garlic butter and top with parmesan cheese.

Grilled zucchini and yellow squash is a favorite here....

I miss corn but for me it’s on the no no list. Not low carb / keto. Gotta admit I miss it.

Tastes great, and it helps with digestion. A friend used to say, "Corn is the ball bearings of food."

Take some trimmed bite sized asparagus, brussel sprouts, sliced baby bellas, and coarse chopped onions. Toss them in and then saute them in any combination of butter, EVOO, and or bacon grease until all are caramelized. Heaven in a skillet.

Creamed Spinach is a good one and this yellow squash I make about every week. Squash, onions and jalapeno's. Quick saute, just takes few minutes. Add some garlic chili paste than finish with cilantro.
