Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
THE MANY COLOURS OF CAPSICUMIn addition to red capsicum, there are also green, yellow, orange and even white and purple. Follow the Roasted Red Capsicum recipe using your capsicum colour of choice. Even switch it up from recipe to recipe. Each colour yields different nutrient components, so check labels or look up nutritional information online. Variety is the spice of life — give the variety of colours a chance and enhance your health benefits!
Fennel’s distinct anise, or liquorice, flavour tends to tame once heated. Add a squeeze of lemon and this side dish is perfect alongside proteins like chicken.
The air fryer knows how to crisp up prosciutto and there’s no need for seasoning. The salty nature of prosciutto lends just enough flavour for these tasty spears.
Try this dish next to a juicy steak to take the place of a traditional potato side. The garlic and butter transform the meaty-textured radish into a fantastic recipe — without the guilt of a high carb count.
This bread is just fun. It gives you that pigs-in-a-blanket feel without any of the carb-laden guilt. And don’t forget to buy some mustard or no–sugar-added tomato sauce, or make some ketchup at home, to dip this in for the full experience!
Sometimes when eating a low-carb diet, you just want a piece of bread. Try these dilly dinner muffins! The dill pairs nicely with the protein in a salmon fillet or grilled chicken, and the feeling of eating bread again will satisfy that craving — without sabotaging your diet.
A parmie (or parma depending on where you’re from or your preference) is a classic ham and Parmesan cheese topping and a favourite across the country. We’ve created an easy low-carb version by adding it to eggplant and switching out the ham for crushed pork rinds. For extra nutritional value, keep the skins on your eggplant sticks
