TIPS AND USEFUL INFORMATION
HOW TO ADAPT THE LOW-CARB BREAD FOR GRILLING
You can easily customize the low-carb bread to suit your taste. Below are a few ideas for variations you should try when grilling.
For example, if you’re not a fan of garlic, simply omit it. You can also enhance the garlic cheese bread with finely chopped herbs or sautéed onions. For a spicier twist, add finely chopped chilies or a dash of chili powder to the dough.
Feel free to use any type of cheese you prefer. This recipe uses milder cheeses, but for a bolder flavor, try swapping the mozzarella for grated mountain cheese or your favorite strong variety.
WHAT PAIRS WELL WITH KETO GARLIC BREAD
Keto garlic bread makes a perfect low-carb side for grilling, but it’s also great on its own as a snack, whether for a casual evening or while watching TV. If you’re enjoying the bread as a meal, pair it with a healthy and flavorful sauce or dip. Fresh tomato salsa or marinara sauce are excellent choices, while spicier options like chili sauce also complement the low-carb bread beautifully.
