Chef shares simple one-ingredient recipe for 'zero-carb' crisps
Emma Porter, who wrote "Life Without Diabetes, The Cookbook," shared the 'one-ingredient, zero-carb' crisp recipe to her TikTok account - and it's incredibly simple to make
A culinary whizz and author of a cookbook dedicated to diabetes-friendly recipes has revealed her "one-ingredient, zero-carb" crisps recipe. She claims it's the simplest thing you could possibly whip up.
The brains behind "Life Without Diabetes, The Cookbook" assures that this snack is a breeze to make and perfect for those managing diabetes or insulin resistance. Emma Porter, known on TikTok as @emmaporterskitchen, shared her straightforward Parmesan crisps recipe.
She said: "They take under 10 mins to make and if you need a super quick last-minute gift that look great and are always a conversation starter then these are always a winner."
She further explains that these nibbles are a "fantastic substitute for those with diabetes or insulin resistance. Helping keep blood sugars stable!".
BBC Good Food confirms that hard cheese, like Parmesan, is one of the healthiest options out there. Made from unpasteurised cow's milk and aged for at least 12 months, Parmigiano Reggiano, as it's also known, is packed with "mineral-binding compounds that make it an especially useful source of bone-building minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.", reports Surrey Live.
"It also contains proteins that may modulate the immune system as well as having blood pressure-lowering effects. Thanks to its long ageing process, parmesan has very low levels of lactose, making it a potential option for those with lactose intolerance. However, since it contains cow's rennet, it's not suitable for those following a vegetarian diet."
One Ingredient Parmesan Crisps - full recipe
Ingredients
block of Parmesan (hard cheaper cheeses don't work as well and don't have the same snap/crunch)
One baking sheet with a silicone/non-stick baking sheet
Method
Set oven to 190C
Grate cheese
Pop into measuring tbsp piles (a good pinch). Lay spaced out and not close to the edge as they met and spread out
Bake 7 minutes approx (keep an eye on them!) until golden / browned around edges
Remove from oven and slide sheet off baking sheet. Pop on side to cool for a minute before sliding crisps onto a cooling rack. This will take minutes
You can serve straight away but if you are doing this, you'll want to ensure they're cool so they set and are nice and firm. If you have leftover, simply store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For an added kick, chuck some chili flakes. And if they're a tad on the greasy side, give them a pat with a kitchen towel so soak up any excess oil.

'I'm a dietitian and this is what I have for breakfast, lunch and dinner'
You'll be glad to know her diet includes chocolate! A dietitian has revealed her typical daily meals - from breakfast to dinner, including dessert. Josie Porter, known as @thedietitianmethod on TikTok, follows one key principle: avoiding ' weird food rules.' As a registered dietitian, she completed her training at several leading NHS trusts in London. Porter, BSc MSc RD, introducing the video, saying: 'This is everything a dietitian eats in a day with no weird food rules.' Because it's the weekend, she decided to go on a run and fueled up on a banana before heading out. After she came back, she then had her "proper breakfast". She makes a delicious pistachio tiramisu granola bites with a mascarpone base, calling the dish "up there with one of my favorite variations." Next, she has her lunch which consists of boiled eggs, lots of chilli oil, edamame beans and spring onions. She has this all together on a chopping board and chops it all up and stuffs it into a soft pitta. When it comes to dinner, she enjoys variety and colour. She chose jerk salmon, kidney beans, coriander rice, and a cashew and mango slaw. Speaking about her dinner, she says: "It has everything you need from fiber, protein, flavour and the juicy mango." And to end the day, she tucks into some chocolate. Dietitian's diet - breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert Pre-run food: One banana Breakfast: Pistachio tiramisu granola bites with a mascarpone base Lunch: Boiled eggs, chilli oil, edamame beans and spring onions in a soft pitta Dinner: Jerk salmon with a cashew and mango slaw, kidney beans and coriander rice Dessert: Chocolate Pistachio tiramisu granola bites with a mascarpone base - how to make In a separate video, the food expert said she loves to "make a batch ahead of time and store in the fridge". It's "ideal for brunch spreads, breakfast on-the-go, or when you want a little snack that still offers some nutritional oomph." Ingredients serves 1, double for 2 etc... 1 ripe banana 30g rolled oats 2 tbsp chopped pistachios 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness) 1 tsp instant espresso or coffee powder 1 tsp cacao powder Pinch of salt 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (full fat works best, but any does the trick!) 1 tbsp mascarpone Cocoa powder (for dusting) Optional: pistachio butter for drizzling Method Preheat oven to 180°C fan if using over an airfryer. Skip this step if using an air fryer. In a bowl, mash the banana with espresso powder, salt, and cacao powder, then mix in oats, maple syrup (if using), vanilla, and pistachios. Onto baking paper, add all and press flat with a fork or spoon. Bake for 10 mins in air fryer on 180, or 15–18 mins in oven until just golden. Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt and mascarpone until smooth and creamy. Add maple syrup if you want it sweet. Place into your serving bowl as your base. Once your bites have cooled slightly, scrap into clusters with a spoon or fork. Then crumble over the creamy base, dust with cocoa powder, and finish with pistachio butter (if using!)
