Meatballs are one of our favorite low-carb meals to eat because they can be dressed up in so many different ways, but they are always low in carbs and high in protein – perfect for a keto diet. But what do you serve with meatballs?
Although you can make all kinds of different variations of meatballs, that also means you have to come up with different types of side dishes that pair well with those meatballs. That can be a huge ask, seeing how the flavors vary.

Some have BBQ sauce, some have balsamic glaze, and some are served plain. This will give you a good array of choices depending on the type of meatballs you’re serving.
