While carrots themselves aren’t a completely keto friendly dish, thanks to their higher carb count, this dish can be made to be less sugary with brown sugar substitutes that don’t add sugar to your dish.

Be sure to closely watch portions when serving carrots on a keto diet – they aren’t the best for strict keto diets, but can be worked into some modified keto eating plans that allow for a bit more carbs in a day or on eating plans that seek to eliminate added sugars in a dish.

If watching carbs, you can work this carrot side dish into any diet, even a keto diet (you’ll need to make sure to have other low carb dishes alongside these carrots, since they might use up more of your macros.)

We recommend swerve brown sugar or a monkfruit brown sugar substitute used in a 1:1 exchange, to greatly reduce added sugars and carbohydrates of this dish.

To kick this dish up a bit for a holiday like Easter, consider adding up to 2 ounces of bourbon to the dish, and flambéing (lighting on fire) for a rich, smoky, and delicious caramelized finish that is out of this world!

After adding brown sugar to pan and letting it cook down for about a minute, add bourbon and light with a match to let it burn off.

Be very careful when lighting a pan with alcohol and sugar on fire – use a long handled match, turn off the stove, and stand back – never put your face over the pan.

You can also let the bourbon soak in and cook off lightly without igniting – I just love the flavor flambéing gives this carrot dish.
