Keto Edamame: A Crave-Busting Garlic & Parmesan Snack

On keto, I rarely crave any type of bread anymore, but I do crave dipping oils. And there’s not much to dip in oil without bread. That’s where a keto edamame fix has been my best friend lately because the major advantage of edamame is that you can dress it up in any delicious flavor you want and….suck it off the pod. Great!

So I came up with this little combo that has been helping me kick those cravings. Edamame isn’t at the top of the low-carb veggie list, but it’s certainly not a potato. I don’t eat edamame every day, and it’s certainly never kicked me out of ketosis, so if you choose to make this recipe, I think you’ll really enjoy it!

And yes, I’m adult who uses dinosaur chopsticks.
