Is this recipe keto-friendly and low-carb?

Yes—it’s both keto-friendly and low in carbs, especially when you skip traditional bread and build your sandwich on these veggie-powered slices. Each serving of the zucchini “bread” contains just a few grams of net carbs, depending on the cheese you use. If you’re keeping things ultra low-carb, opt for a high-fat filling like turkey and avocado, or layer on bacon and cheddar with a swipe of sugar-free mustard. This zucchini breadwich recipe has quickly become a favorite for anyone cutting carbs but still craving that hand-held satisfaction.

Can I use yellow squash instead of zucchini?

You can! Yellow squash works well as a substitute for zucchini in this breadwich recipe. The flavor is nearly identical, and the texture holds up the same way—as long as you wring out the moisture after grating. The only difference is color: your “bread” slices will look more golden from the start.
