7 Low Carb Christmas Side Dishes
Seven low carb Christmas side dishes for the holiday table, every one 5 g net carbs or less per serving.
These low carb Christmas side dishes are the ones I would put next to a roast or a turkey without a second thought: creamed spinach, a bread-free stuffing, green bean casserole, squash casserole, gravy, and two kinds of bread for the basket. Every side here comes in at 5 g net carbs or less per serving, and I checked each number against the recipe card. Nothing is hiding a cup of flour or a pile of sugar. Pick two or three, make what you can ahead, and the holiday plate stays easy.
Each recipe is a side that really belongs on a Christmas table, and I recalculated every one from its ingredient list with USDA data before it made the list. The numbers under each recipe are per serving, taken from the card. Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber.
4 Ingredient Keto Bread Rolls
Almond flour dinner rolls made from just four ingredients, with butter and eggs in the dough. The recipe makes 12 rolls. They are denser than yeast rolls, but they hold up to butter and gravy.

Keto Gravy
