Can I use store-bought sauce?
Yes you can. To save time you can buy it from the market but we would recommend preparing your own.
We have prepared our own white sauce with butter, garlic, almond milk, and heavy cream.
What else can I add?
Make the recipe even more exciting with these keto-friendly ingredients:
Shrimp
Chopped Spinach
Chicken chunks
Salmon
Can I double up the recipe?
Yes, of course. Spiralize more zucchinis and make a double batch to serve a big crowd.
Please note - even if you double up the sauce, cooking time stays the same.
How to serve?
Instant Pot Keto Zucchini Alfredo serves great as a side dish but can be enjoyed as a whole light meal with addon vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
Can I store the leftovers?
Of course. To freeze this keto recipe just keep it in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
To reheat, let the Alfredo thaw for some time once the sauce separates from it (as it often happens) add a few splashes of heavy cream before reheating.
How to make
Gather the necessary ingredients.
Take zucchini and make thick zucchini spirals. You can use vegetable spiralizer, knife or any method you like.
Take your instant pot, saute at normal for 5 minutes, and add butter
Add previously minced garlic, and almond milk.
Now add heavy cream, and mix.
Mix well for 4 minutes.
Take it out and clean the Instant Pot.
Saute the pot at normal for 6 minutes and water.
Let the water come to a boil then add zucchini. Cook for 30 seconds - 2 minutes.
In my opinion 1 minute is ideal but it's up to you.
