Diabetic-Friendly Cooking Demo Ideas for Mid-October Show

[chefsteph07]

I have a show in mid October, the host just asked me if I could make the demo a diabetic friendly one...has anyone done this type of show before or know what recipes would be good? I was thinking fajitas...with a wheat tortilla, but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Chicken Your Way with our two salt free seasonings and then do veggies on the bar pan with pressed garlic, herb de provence, and a touch of parmesan.
You could also do some rice in the rcp.

Some ideas for diabetic-friendly recipes for a cooking show could include:1. Grilled chicken and vegetable skewers: Use lean chicken breast and a variety of low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Serve with a side of quinoa or cauliflower rice.2. Baked salmon with roasted vegetables: Use a simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs on the salmon, and roast a variety of vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and carrots.3. Turkey lettuce wraps: Use ground turkey and a variety of vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and water chestnuts to make a flavorful filling for lettuce wraps. Serve with a side of brown rice.4. Cauliflower crust pizza: Use cauliflower rice, almond flour, and eggs to make a low-carb pizza crust. Top with a sugar-free tomato sauce, vegetables, and lean protein like chicken or shrimp.5. Stir-fried tofu and vegetables: Use tofu, a variety of low-carb vegetables, and a sugar-free stir-fry sauce to make a flavorful and healthy dish. Serve with brown rice or cauliflower rice.6. Baked sweet potato fries: Cut sweet potatoes into fries, toss with olive oil and seasonings, and bake in the oven until crispy. Serve with a side of sugar-free ketchup or a homemade avocado dip.Remember to always check the nutrition labels of any ingredients you use to ensure they are low in carbohydrates and sugar.
