Can you eat zucchini on a keto diet?

Yes, zucchini is one of the best veggies for keto. It’s low in carbs, high in fiber, and super versatile. One cup of raw zucchini has around 3g of net carbs, which makes it great for snacks, sides, or even noodles.

Does cinnamon have carbs or sugar?

Ground cinnamon has a tiny amount of carbs, but not enough to mess with your macros. A half teaspoon has less than 1g of carbs and no sugar. It's safe to use in small amounts on keto and adds a ton of flavor without any sweetener.

How do you keep grilled zucchini from getting soggy?

To stop zucchini from turning mushy, slice it thick (about ¼ inch), pat it dry with paper towels, and cook it over medium-high heat. Don’t crowd the pan or grill, give each slice space so it browns instead of steaming.
