Keto Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan Cream

The Mediterranean Keto diet includes lots of low-carb vegetables and occasional dairy, among other things. These delicious sprouts with parmesan cream are an excellent side to your favorite Mediterranean meat or fish recipes. Crispy sprouts are baked with a good drizzle of olive oil and then served with this creamy parmesan sauce for a beautiful dish, packed with flavor and healthy fats. It is an excellent side dish, but it can also serve as a quick and healthy snack. These sprouts are best served warm, directly from the oven, but they also taste great the next day. Enjoy!

Can I use some butter instead of olive oil?

Although the Mediterranean Keto diet is based on olive oil, you can replace it with the same amount of melted butter.

Can I use some other type of cheese?

Yes, some feta or goat's cheese would work perfectly with this recipe. You can also add a tablespoon of cream cheese or even Greek yogurt to the sauce.

    This turned a Brussels sprouts hater into a Brussels sprouts lover. The Parmesan cream sauce was not only a game changer for the Brussels sprouts, but it was excellent drizzled over Keto chicken tenders. It was a meal worthy of serving to company.
