Inviting scent, cheerful laughter, and a gathering together in the garden - that's the perfect description of a successful barbecue evening. But for many who pay attention to a low-carb or low-fat diet or have consciously chosen a healthier lifestyle, traditional grilling can be a challenge. Because often it's the classic side dishes like bread, potato salad, or corn on the cob that are rich in carbohydrates. It's no different with Asado, which is traditionally very fatty. But even here: everyone must get their share. We'll show you how to elevate your grilling enjoyment to a new level with low-carb alternatives - from zucchini to asparagus!
Grilled zucchini slices:
Zucchini is a true all-rounder when it comes to low-carb alternatives. It is super tasty and very easy to prepare. For this, cut the zucchini into long slices, drizzle them with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Then place them on the grill or a plancha, and they will become wonderfully tender and develop a delicious roasted aroma.
Bell peppers with egg filling:
Bell peppers are excellent for stuffing and grilling. They become especially delicious with a filling of eggs or vegan cheese and finely chopped herbs. The slightly sweet note of the grilled bell pepper perfectly complements the well-cooked egg.
Mushroom skewers:
Mushrooms are not only low in carbohydrates but also super easy to prepare. Simply skewer them alternately with onions, bell peppers, and other vegetables, and grill them until they get an appetizing brown color.
Grilled asparagus:
Asparagus is not only a delicate delicacy but also an excellent side dish for your barbecue. Drizzle it with some olive oil and grill it on the plancha until it is al dente. A pinch of salt and pepper, and you have an elegant and low-carb addition to your grilled food.
Cauliflower steaks:
Cauliflower might not be the first vegetable you think of when grilling, but its versatile texture makes it an interesting candidate for vegetarian steaks. Cut the cauliflower into thick slices, brush them with spiced oil, and grill until they get a light brown color.
Half an avocado with herb oil:
Avocado lovers, pay attention! Halve a ripe avocado, remove the pit, and drizzle it with a mixture of herbs and olive oil. Place it cut side down on the grill and let it toast briefly. The result is a true delight!
Onions and vegetables on the plancha:
Onions are not only an ideal complement to meat and vegetables but also extremely easy to prepare. Put the vegetables and onions on the plancha with plenty of oil and season a little more. After a short time, a sweet, delicious flavor develops.
Grilled baby spinach with spring onions:
Combine the delicious taste of spring onions with fresh spinach by stir-frying them together with spices in a wok. The result is a unique and flavorful delight that makes the perfect side dish for meat or cheese.
Grilling with low-carbohydrate alternatives offers you a variety of delicious options that make your barbecue evening a true feast for the senses. With the ideas mentioned above, it's easy to enjoy your favorite recipes in a healthy and low-carb way.
So grab your grill and discover the colorful world of vegetable variety!
