The cover star got risqué as she wore nothing but black pants and a scarf that covered only her chest.

This is certainly a side of the celebrity chef we've never seen before!

She also revealed her healthy eating habits -- and they may surprise you.

"I do nibble!" she admitted to Health. "I always have a ton of precut mixed fruit in my fridge, and bowls of mixed nuts that I've toasted."

Like most people, the Italian-born celeb also can't resist a sweet treat. Her go-to? Dark chocolate chips she keeps stocked in her freezer.

"They're cold, so it takes longer to melt in your mouth," she revealed.

And while the "Giada At Home" star is most famous for her skills in the kitchen, there's another role she's most proud of -- being a mom to her 8-year-old daughter.

Despite her busy schedule, De Laurentiis makes spending time with her kiddo, Jade, a top priority. But the single mom reveals being divorced makes it especially difficult.

"When you split time with your kids, when you actually have them, you don't want to be working. Otherwise, what's the point? This time is precious."

De Laurentiis split from her husband of 12 years, fashion designer Todd Thompson, at the end of 2014. She revealed in a Facebook post that the separation was "amicable."

"Although our decision to separate comes with a great deal of sadness, our focus on the future and overwhelming desire for our family's happiness has given us the strength to move forward on separate, yet always connected paths," she posted on the social media site in 2014.

But things are looking up for the chef! De Laurentiis is currently dating TV producer Shane Farley, whom she's been seeing since November 2015. We're guessing their relationship is as great as ever -- she was spotted in New York City back in August looking absolutely glowing!

She was also once linked to fellow celeb chef Bobby Flay, but the longtime friends were quick to squash romance rumors.
