Pesto
For this recipe you can use your favorite pesto. Homemade or store-bought will work nicely for this recipe. Pesto is a simple sauce made of pine nuts, salt, basil leaves and a hard cheese. Homemade pesto is easy to make and comes together in about 15 minutes. For store-bought pesto, look for the stuff in the fridge section or try this Augusto Pesto. Luckily, pesto is low in carbs and high in fat. A 1/4 cup of pesto has about 3g of carbohydrates, 1g of fiber and 27g of fat.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes can be high in carbs and because of that, some people avoid them while on a keto diet. I personally think that’s crazy! Tomatoes are high in nutritional value and offer so much flavor to any dish. For this recipe, I slice the tomatoes on the thinner side to help keep the carbs low (about 1/2″). Feel free to make the tomato slices bigger depending on your preference. Just remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly!
