What is a faux-tato? It’s a fake potato! These ‘potatoes’ are actually made out of daikon radishes. Since potatoes are very high in carbs, they are not on the list of keto-friendly foods. A daikon has 2.9g of carbs, compared to the potatoes’ 37g of carbs. Making radishes a good replacement for those who are paleo or keto and carve a potato-like side dish. These roasted faux-tatoes will help with your craving for potatoes!
Why Keto?
While the keto diet has been becoming more and more popular as the decade has gone on, who it was originally made for may surprise you. It was originally invented for children with epilepsy. The low carb high fat diet helped reduce the number of seizures in the children tested, and is still used as a treatment option for those with epilepsy. The current hype, however, is that a keto diet can help you shed pounds fast. It is not meant to be a long-term eating plan, but can be modified as time goes on to more of a paleo whole-foods diet to stay better nutrition-wise. Either way, this recipe is still a really great healthy option for you and your loved ones!
