Shakshuka (Baked Eggs) With Kale (1 serving(s))

Reduce the portion of starchy sides: skip or halve bread, pita, potatoes, or rice served with the shakshuka, and prioritize the eggs, kale, tomatoes, and sauce.

Choose a smaller portion of lower-carbohydrate bread if desired, such as dense whole-grain rye or pumpernickel, and limit it to one small slice.

Add more non-starchy vegetables to the dish, such as mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, or extra kale, to increase volume without a large carbohydrate load.

Include a satiating fat or protein alongside the meal, such as avocado, feta, plain Greek yogurt, or an extra egg; avoid sweetened yogurt or sugary sauces.

Eat the shakshuka and vegetables first, then any bread or other starch last, and avoid fruit juice, sweet tea, or sweetened coffee with the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
