Keto Vegetables in Creamy Sauce (Cauliflower or Broccoli)

AuthorCulinum Kitchen
Last updated:March 2026
0.0(0)

Low-carb vegetables in rich creamy sauce – with cheese or butter variation.

Keto vegetables in creamy sauce are a versatile and satisfying low-carb side dish. This recipe works beautifully with either cauliflower or broccoli and can be customized with melted cheese or simple butter for two delicious variations. With around 8 grams of net carbs per serving, this dish supports ketogenic nutrition while providing fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats from cream and butter. Is it keto-friendly? Yes. Both cauliflower and broccoli are low in carbohydrates and perfect for low-carb cooking. This gluten-free and sugar-free recipe can be served as a side dish or a light vegetarian keto meal. Variation 1: Add grated cheese for a thicker, richer sauce. Variation 2: Keep it simple with butter and cream for a lighter texture.
