💁 Tips to Boost Flavor
- Add a splash of white wine if you’re feeling bougie.
- Use smoked paprika for extra depth — think “fireplace in Provence.”
- Try a keto garlic crouton made with almond flour toast.
- Double the onions, because no one ever said, “Wow, that’s too much onion.”
- Serve with a side of shade for whoever said keto is boring.
