INGREDIENT NOTES & THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
BROCCOLI:
- We use fresh broccoli florets because they roast beautifully and develop tender centers with crispy edges. As an alternative, you can use frozen broccoli, cauliflower florets, or Brussels sprouts.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- We utilize freshly grated Parmesan cheese because it adds a rich, nutty flavor and melts evenly. Instead, you can use Pecorino Romano, Asiago, or Grana Padano.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides richness and enhances the garlic flavor. As a substitute, you can use ghee or unsalted dairy-free butter.
GARLIC:
- Fresh garlic gives this dish its bold, savory flavor and aroma. Instead, you can use garlic powder, roasted garlic, or minced shallots.
ITALIAN SEASONING:
- Italian seasoning adds a balanced blend of herbs and enhances the overall flavor. As an alternative, you can use dried oregano, basil, or thyme.
PARSLEY:
- Fresh parsley adds a bright color and fresh flavor to the finished dish. Instead, you can use fresh basil, chives, or cilantro.
