INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

CAULIFLOWER:

• Cauliflower will provide a volume and soak up the flavors. We can replace it with chopped cabbage, radish, or turnips.

BROCCOLI:

• We have to use broccoli, as it will give a crunchy texture and fiber content. As a replacement, you can use asparagus pieces, brussels sprouts, or green beans.

ZUCCHINI:

• Use zucchini, which will provide softness and moisture content. We can substitute it with chayote, eggplant, or yellow squash.

BELL PEPPERS:

• These peppers will deliver a color and a mildly sweet taste to this veggie casserole. As an alternative, you can use celery, poblano peppers, or green chilies.

MUSHROOMS:

• You can use mushrooms, as they will give an umami flavor and a sweet taste. Swap it with extra broccoli, zucchini slices, or eggplant.
