Other Keto Side Dishes To Try!

Whether you are looking for something to go with your main dish or just for a quick healthy lunch, these low carb sides are easy and tasty and can be meals in of themselves.

• green beans and bacon
• Mediterranean Brussels sprouts
• red curry cabbage noodles
• creamy mushrooms
• parmesan asparagus
• roasted vegetable noodles
• Spanish cauliflower rice

Ingredients I Used

There are only 4 items in this recipe: yellow and green zucchini, feta cheese, fresh thyme and butter.

Let’s Make Some Feta & Zucchini!

This is truly simple but here we go.

STEP 1: Melt some butter in a large saute pan. Add in the zucchini and thyme.

STEP 2: Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until the zucchini softens and starts to brown.

STEP 3: When it’s at your desired level of cooking take off the burner. I sometimes like to get those really brown zucchini pieces but it can turn to mush so today I just let it brown a little bit.

STEP 4: Take it off the stove and carefully fold in the crumbled feta and serve immediately.

Variations To Try

You don’t have to use both yellow and green zucchini. I just think it makes a nicer presentation.

Other vegetables you can use are peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus, etc.  You could also add some toasted pine nuts or walnuts for some added crunch and texture.

I really enjoyed this simple, delicious side dish. It’s something I would eat for lunch too as it takes such little time and great for my keto diet.

Since I almost always have feta in my fridge and both zucchini and thyme growing in my garden, I will probably whip up this zucchini dish often.
