Yes, carrots can be keto friendly in smaller portion sizes. For one serving of these tasty glazed carrots, you're looking at only 9 net carbs! For us, that works well alongside a protein for dinner. Carrots are easily one of our favorite vegetables. They do tend to be naturally higher in carbs, so it’s a good idea to try to minimize the amount of sugar that you add to them when you can, especially if you are eating a low carb diet. We do believe in everything in moderation. Small amounts of carrots can totally fit into your low carb diet, just don't over do it! We know that some people might not want to eat carrots on a keto diet, but that's okay too. To each their own. Sugar free maple syrup really seals the deal for this recipe. Maple syrup has a lot of sugar. It's delicious, but it's nice when we can replace it with something just as tasty.
