PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
CAULIFLOWER SUBSTITUTE
Replace with mashed cauliflower (butter, cream cheese, seasonings). Similar comfort-food texture at ~3g net carbs per 100g.
RADISH "POTATOES"
Roast whole/halved radishes at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes; mellow, potato-like flavor with ~1.8g net carbs per 100g.
TURNIP FRIES
Cut turnips into fries, toss with oil and spices, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway (~4.6g net carbs per 100g).
JICAMA HASH BROWNS
Shred jicama, squeeze moisture, pan-fry in butter or ghee until crispy (~4.9g net carbs per 100g).
