Low Carb Vegetables

These low carb vegetables are filling, and provide a nice variety of choices within a ketogenic diet plan. Vegetables can be roasted, grilled, baked, sauteed or steamed. Add butter or low carb sauces for extra flavor. Boiling is not recommended as this cooking method destroys most of the vitamins.
