Move over potatoes, these Low FODMAP Mashed Parsnips are ready to shine! This simple and scrumptious side dish is a delicious way to get a healthy dose of starchy carbs.

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE potatoes – especially when they’re in Low FODMAP Garlic Fries-form! 🙂 But I can’t always eat potatoes. So, I’ve started making these Low FODMAP Mashed Parsnips. They’re slightly sweeter than regular spuds, but I think it gives the dish a yummy unique flavor.

I like to serve these mashed parsnips with a grilled chicken breast or Low FODMAP Maple Mustard Salmon and a side of green beans. Nom nom nom!
