“This is a quick and easy keto vegetable side dish of broccolini in garlic sage butter. It is great alongside meat, chicken or fish, but I quite like it alongside pork chops. Enjoy! ” – Monya

Broccolini in Garlic Sage Butter (Keto)
Smashed Cauliflower with Sour Cream and Chives (Keto)
“In this cauliflower with sour cream and chives recipe, I show yet another way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. I partially smash up cooked cauliflower and stir through soured cream and chives. Too easy!” – Monya
Artichoke and Creamy Burrata Salad (Keto)
“This artichoke and creamy burrata salad is a quick, easy and truly delicious salad using char-grilled artichokes. These can be found in the shelves in stores where all the chilled antipasti goodies are kept. They are smoky and lovely in a salad. This salad serves 4 as a side dish, but could easily be enjoyed by two people as a meat-free main meal. I especially love the simple garlic dressing, but be sure to use crushed garlic (done using a garlic press) for the best flavour and texture. The scattering of chopped parsley will balance it all out nicely. ” – Monya
Creamy Red Cabbage Bake (Keto)
“I love this creamy red cabbage bake! Not only is the flavour of baked cream so intoxicating, but different vegetables will offer varying textures. I especially like how red cabbage never ‘completely’ softens, so it offers some texture here. Remember, as with all my veg side dish ideas – be sure to enjoy it with a cut of meat or fish so you get your essential protein in. I always garnish my dishes with herbs I have at hand. This not only makes your presentation prettier, but it adds a fresh flavour dimension. With this recipe, you can use parsley or chives but I actually had wild rocket in the fridge which I chopped up. Rocket has a slightly peppery flavour, so this was a nice touch.” – Monya
Rosemary and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms (Keto)
“I had some rosemary and Portobello mushrooms, so I made these cheese stuffed mushrooms to have alongside lamb. This recipe makes 4 stuffed mushrooms and the macros are shown per mushroom. If you are cooking for more people (or if you anticipate you may want more than one), scale up using the facility on the “Servings” yield on the recipe. This will adjust your ingredient amounts automatically. Massive, beautiful flavours, I hope you love these cheese stuffed mushrooms!” – Monya
Cauliflower in Garlic Browned Butter (Keto)
“Cauliflower in garlic browned butter is a great vegetable side dish. In this easy recipe, I simply melt garlic browned butter over cooked cauliflower. It is delicious served with grilled fish, chicken or meat.” – Monya
Fried Mushroom and Tarragon Salad (Keto)
“I combine caramelised mushrooms with a fragrant tarragon mayonnaise in this fried mushroom and tarragon salad. This will be enough for 4 people to enjoy as a side salad. It is so simple and you will love the unusual, delightful flavours!” – Monya
Creamy Coconut Broccoli Bake (Keto)
“This creamy coconut broccoli bake is a lovely way to enjoy broccoli (or broccolini) in a creamy, dairy-free bake. I reduce and infuse full-fat coconut milk, then use it to cook the broccoli until tender. It then goes into the oven for a further bake. This coconut broccoli bake is simply delicious enjoyed with your favourite meat!” – Monya
Celeriac ‘Steaks’ with Salsa Verde (Keto)
“I love these celeriac steaks with salsa verde! Celeriac has an unusually beautiful flavour and one of the few ‘root’ vegetables that are low enough in carbs to enjoy on the keto diet. You can run a search on the site for all my celeriac recipes, which may come in useful here, as I only use 2 rounds from a celeriac, leaving you with plenty leftover. You will need to find creative ways to use it up! There is an accompanying salsa verde sauce here which will yield a little more than you will need, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and stirred through other dishes.” – Monya
Broccolini with Sesame Dressing (Keto)
“I love broccoli, but I especially love ‘broccolini’ (Tenderstem) which makes for a more attractive presentation. This broccolini with sesame dressing is a delicious side veg option. It is simply cooked broccolini smothered in a quick and easy dressing boasting the intoxicating flavour of toasted sesame oil and a little tamari (gluten-free soy sauce).” – Monya
Roasted Radishes (Keto)
“This is a super easy way to enhance the flavour of roasted radishes without using any dairy, but still achieving a cheesy flavour! Ordinarily I would use grated Parmesan, but here I used nutritional yeast flakes (very popular with vegetarians because Parmesan uses animal rennet) which is an excellent alternative! This simple, quick recipe is a great way to enjoy the under-celebrated radish (which contains vitamin C, folate and riboflavin).” – Monya
Butter Braised Red Cabbage with Almonds (Keto)
“Are you looking for ways to eat the rainbow? Even though I love MEAT, I am a huge fan of vegetables, so I love finding ways to prepare delicious side vegetable recipe ideas for any time of the year. This braised red cabbage is buttery and acidic and would go perfectly with your Sunday pork roast. I went a step further and scattered over roasted flaked almonds for additional flavour and texture. Play around and use any nuts if you wish to do so, but roasting them is essential to enhance their flavour.” – Monya
Creamy Cauliflower Rice (Keto)
“Like most of you, I have made cauliflower rice, cauliflower mash and cauliflower couscous (just run a search on this site if you want to see those recipes). I love them all and make all three regularly. Here, I wanted to play around with the flavours of the mash I make, but include a little texture. So I pretty much used the best cooking methods to achieve exactly that – and now this version is my favourite! I had no idea what to title it, but “creamy cauliflower rice” seemed to be the most accurate description.” – Monya
BBQ Onion Skewers with Chilli Butter (Keto)
“Our South African roots will be evident in the inspiration behind this dish. Firstly, you should know that Funnyman and I LOVE to braai (BBQ). We don’t use charcoal (shudder) and we don’t use gas (even bigger shudder) – we actually import our wood from South Africa via a fabulous company here in the UK. They provides us with kameeldoring wood which is excellent. You see, South Africans don’t braai just to eat. We spend hours watching the logs burn down to coals while we chat with loved ones. And then, after everyone has eaten, we throw more wood on the fire and just watch the flames as we contemplate life! As you can imagine, coal and gas BBQs just won’t cut it for us. Anyway, we not only cook meat on the braai, but also vegetables. Check out these awesome onion skewers!” – Monya
Vegetable Gruyere Bake (Keto)
“We always have broccoli, cauliflower and double cream in the fridge. I have played around with so many different ways to use them up. Here, I wanted the beautiful, unique flavour Gruyere cheese to feature because I its flavour! I also added a pinch of ground paprika to give a slightly different flavour dimension. Whip this out at your next Sunday roast, your family will love the rich decadence!” – Monya
