Low-Carb Vegetarian Greek BriamPin itFollow us 148.4k

This Greek Briam is quite possibly my absolute favourite low-carb side dish. It's packed with flavour and healthy fats!

Just like the traditional recipe, I used plenty of heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs. Instead of potatoes I added some cauliflower and topped it with crumbled feta cheese.

You can serve this as a light vegetarian keto dinner, or as a side with protein such as baked salmon, roast chicken, beef meatballs, lamb or pork chops.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

We loved the original veggie briam recipe and were disappointed to see it was replaced with this new tray bake that is very different (yet it has the same title). Can you repost the original?

Hi Alex, this was my mistake. I was making some changes to the formatting and accidentally pasted the wrong (similar) recipe. It's all fixed now 😊

Oh my!  I had no idea this was going to be so delicious.  Wow...  I really loved this dish.  We've been trying different veggie dishes on Wednesday and this just moved to the top.  My 17-year-old said, "I like it, and that's saying something!"
THANKS!

Hi I like to meal prep on weekends for my work week can this be frozen and reheated?

No, I'm afraid this is one of the meals I wouldn't freeze. The vegetables would get mushy.

Martina, idk how you do it. You take ingredients that I've spent years convincing myself I don't like, and you turn them into a meal that I truly look forward to eating. This app/blog is my go to, and I've officially stopped ruling recipes out because "I don't like x, y, or z ingredients." Your recipes are amazing! Thank you!!! I LOVE how creamy the feta bchampagne wishes and caviar dreamscomes in this recipe. It's delightful!
