When eating keto, gourmet cooking (or hot stone grilling) is truly the perfect festive meal! You have a wide variety of options, both for the grill and for side dishes, and it’s absolutely effortless to eat keto while the rest of the guests may be enjoying carb-rich food.
What can you put on the grill?
There are many delicious things you can prepare on the grill or hot stone, and it’s not just limited to meat (or meat substitutes). You can also include various types of vegetables and even eggs.
Meat for the grill
Most people tend to eat a lot of meat on such an evening. If you opt for unmarinated and non-breaded meat, you’re usually on the right track!
However, there are differences between types of meat and even between brands in terms of additives, so it’s a good idea to check the labels to make the best choice.
Make your own mayonnaise with good oils so you can enjoy a generous dollop while keeping your fat ratio in check. Delicious, right? Here’s how to easily make your own mayonnaise.
Vegetables on the grill
In addition to meat, there are also several types of vegetables that are delicious to grill. Consider, for example, slices of zucchini (seasoned with pepper & salt and olive oil), slices of mushrooms, slices of eggplant (seasoned with pepper & salt), strips of bell pepper (they are also delicious raw as a side), slices of pre-cooked turnip, homemade turnip hash browns, haricot verts, or green asparagus tips wrapped in bacon, etc… Here you’ll find a comprehensive overview of all vegetables suitable for a keto lifestyle.
(Stuffed) omelet
MWith gourmet cooking, you can also make delicious omelets in the little pan! Enhance the omelet with tasty vegetables, cold cuts, and some grated cheese, and you have a delicious dish!

There are really many delicious recipes to make 100% keto-friendly bread, which are also as simple as can be! For most bread, it’s just a matter of mixing the ingredients, putting them in a baking dish, and popping it in the oven!
