For a Low Fodmap version, try roasting potatoes with garlic and rosemary. The potatoes will be fragrant and flavorful, and the garlic won't cause any digestive distress. To make this dish, start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees. Then, wash and cube four large potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Add four cloves of garlic and two sprigs of rosemary to the potatoes and generously season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and mix everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Enjoy! ### Steamed Broccoli with Lemon and Parmesan Steamed broccoli is a healthy and delicious side dish that pairs well with just about anything. To make it Low Fodmap friendly, I like to add a zesty twist with some lemon and Parmesan cheese. Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and adding a steamer insert. Place a head of broccoli in the steamer and cover. Steam for about 8 minutes or until the broccoli is just tender. Place the cooked broccoli in a serving bowl and top with the zest of one lemon, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy! ### Zucchini Fries If you're looking for a tasty alternative to traditional French fries, try making zucchini fries! This Low Fodmap side dish is a great way to get in some extra veggies, and it's surprisingly easy to make. To make the fries, start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees. Then, wash and slice two large zucchinis into thin strips. Place the strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mix until the zucchinis are evenly coated. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the fries are golden brown.
