Coleslaw is a BBQ necessity, and the cabbage in coleslaw not only packs great nutrients but is low carb at just 2 grams of net carbs per CUP of shredded cabbage and combined with a high quality, high fat dressing or mayonnaise, it’s the perfect accompaniment for any keto barbecue.

Recipe #6: Deviled Eggs

Who doesn’t love deviled eggs? While I love this spicy “bloody mary” deviled egg recipe, for traditional BBQs, I go for a more muted version – though I kick it up a bit with avocado to make these keto deviled eggs extra creamy!

Deviled eggs are a must-have any time I entertain — just make sure to keep them cool or inside and away from the sun.

Recipe #7: Jicama French Fries

I decided to jump on the jicama band wagon and see how they stack up against potatoes as a burger side. The results = Delicious! It’s all about the seasoning – but jicama has a very potato-like texture (minus the carbs) and with some manipulating, turned out great.
