Notes & Tips
-
Slice onions thinly to maximize caramelization (this enhances natural sweetness without added sugar).
-
Pair with a protein (grilled chicken, tofu, or Greek yogurt) to slow glucose absorption.
-
Keep portions moderate—sweet potatoes and beans contain carbs.
-
Monitor blood sugar individually, as responses vary.
