HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO

  • Portion-aware: a small carrot (30–40g) adds ~2–3g net carbs
  • Great as a flavor enhancer in soups/stews without much volume
  • Nutrient-dense for the carb cost (beta-carotene, K, C)
  • Crunch factor: a few raw sticks can satisfy crispy cravings
  • Versatile: shred, ribbon, or dice to stretch flavor across servings

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

RAW STICKS WITH DIP

Enjoy a few sticks with high-fat dips (ranch, blue cheese, guacamole). Limit to 1 small carrot.

ROASTED

Toss thin sticks with olive oil and herbs; roast at 400°F (205°C) for 20–30 min. Serve in small portions.

SOUP FLAVORING

Add one finely chopped small carrot to a pot; carbs are distributed across servings.

JULIENNED IN SALADS

Use a peeler for ribbons; a light sprinkle adds color and crunch with minimal carbs.

SAUTÉED

Slice thin; sauté in butter with garlic and herbs. Cook just until tender to avoid over-caramelizing.

GRATED

Finely grate into slaws or salads so a small amount flavors the whole dish.
