Packed with essential nutrients and fibre, it offers a refreshing crunch and vibrant green colour. When smothered in this luscious garlic sage butter, its natural flavours are enhanced, creating a mouth-watering combination that is both nutritious and satisfying.
To complete the meal, other low-carb vegetables can be incorporated. Think of vibrant bell peppers, zucchini, and asparagus, lightly sautéed to retain their crispness.

With its enticing flavours and vibrant presentation, this dish exemplifies the idea that keto-friendly eating can be both healthy and indulgent.
