Are Nightshade Vegetables Keto?

Nightshades are a family of vegetables that include eggplant, bell peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and pepper-based spices such as cayenne and paprika. With the exception of potatoes, nightshade vegetables are all Keto-friendly when consumed in moderation. They are slightly higher in carbs than other popular low carb vegetables but can still provide flavor and great nutritional value when used in smaller quantities.

Alternative Toppings

Our Keto bell pepper bites are topped with Italian-inspired flavors and ingredients. This recipe however, is versatile and can be adapted to suit your personal tastes. The mozzarella can be substituted for an alternative, grated cheese, and the seasoning can be swapped for alternative herbs and spices. You could even add some sliced salami or cooked bacon with the cheese so cook through in the oven. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
