HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO
- Used sparingly: ~1 tbsp (10g) adds about 1.4g net carbs; one small shallot (~25g) ≈ 3.4g net
- High flavor density: A little goes a long way to season fatty/protein dishes
- Works best minced in dressings, pan sauces, and sautés where tiny amounts shine
- Track macros when multiple aromatics or sweet reductions are used
- Choose preparations that pair with fat (butter, olive oil) to improve keto ratios
- Great swap: combine with Chives or Green Onion to reduce net carbs further
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
VINAIGRETTE
Mince finely and whisk with Dijon Mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Olive Oil. Classic French-style dressing.

PAN SAUCE
Mince and sauté in pan drippings; deglaze with broth or a splash of Red Wine and finish with Heavy Cream or more Butter.
ROASTED WHOLE
Toss whole shallots with Olive Oil and herbs; roast at 400°F (205°C) ~30 min until tender and caramelized.
CRISPY FRIED
Shallow-fry thin slices in Tallow or Olive Oil; dust lightly with Almond Flour if desired. Use as a crunchy garnish.
COMPOUND BUTTER
Fold finely minced shallot and herbs into softened Butter. Chill as a log and slice over grilled meats or veg.
