Beginner-Friendly Keto Tips

When starting, opt for these simple and familiar ingredients. Clean and chop a heap of non-starchy veggies, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and spread on a sheet pan. Season a serving of lean protein as you like, place it on the sheet pan with the veggies. Roast, tossing the veggies every 10 minutes until they caramelize. Remove the protein and veggies when they are done. Pile roasted veggies on your plate, squeeze fresh lemon over them and top with olives or avocado. Serve the protein on your plate and enjoy a healthy meal!
