How to Cook Diabetes-Friendly Veggies
We all know eating veggies is good for us—their fiber alone can help you manage your weight and heart health. You’ll find two types of vegetables at the store: starchy vegetables (like peas, potatoes, and corn) and non-starchy vegetables (like broccoli, eggplant, and peppers). While all vegetables offer important nutrients for people with diabetes, you should aim to fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables for a balanced meal that doesn’t spike your blood glucose (blood sugar).

Barley, Mushroom, and Herb Risotto
Risotto is traditionally made with starchy rice, but this version made with barley is higher fiber, and has a delightfully chewy texture. Adding the liquid to the grains 1/2 cup at a time gives them a rich, creamy texture by the time they are done cooking. Serve this as whole-grain side to a protein entree, like this Mediterranean Chicken and Artichokes , or add cooked chicken or shrimp and a handful of green to make this a complete meal.
Oven-Baked Maduros (Sweet Plantains)
This might not look like much of a recipe, but fried sweet plantains are a staple side dish in most Latin countries. Typically lunch consists of rice, steak, and beans plus a side of maduros. Baking them is much easier than frying and it brings out all their natural sugars. The secret here is to use super-ripe plantains. Plantains are one of the better carbs you can consume, because they’re filled with potassium, they can help regulate digestion and boost the immune system, and much more. So go ahead and enjoy them in moderation.
Vietnamese Beef Soup (Pho)
