Did you know broccoli can be low FODMAP? Yep, it's true! If you're mindful of the part (florets vs. stems) and portion size, broccoli can be a gut-friendly addition to any phase of the low FODMAP diet.

Both broccoli florets and broccoli stalks have a low FODMAP serving; however, florets have a larger low FODMAP serving size than stalks.

Pair this simple veggie side with your favorite protein food (like chicken, salmon, steak) and rice for a balanced low FODMAP meal.

Shopping list

To make this spicy roasted broccoli, you'll want to add these ingredients to your shopping list:

  • Broccoli - 1 head (about 350 grams or ¾ pound) to yield about 3 cups or 200 grams of broccoli florets
  • Garlic-infused oil - 2 teaspoons
  • Reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari) - 1 teaspoon
  • Sriracha - ½ to 1 teaspoon - or - Red pepper flakes - ¼ to ½ teaspoon

Low FODMAP notes

In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that Monash University has confirmed to be low FODMAP. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.

Broccoli can be low FODMAP, depending on the part and serving size. Florets (or the darker green heads) are lower in FODMAPs than the stalks (the lighter green part). Broccoli florets are low FODMAP in servings of ¾ cup or 75 grams. Broccoli stalks have a smaller low FODMAP serving of ⅓ cup or 45 grams.

Soy sauce, or soya sauce, is low FODMAP in servings of 2 tablespoons or 42 grams. Soy sauce contains small amounts of wheat in levels that should be tolerated by most with IBS. If you require a gluten-free or wheat-free diet, tamari sauce is a suitable alternative.

To help prevent dishes from getting too salty, I often prefer to cook with the reduced-sodium versions. Sodium (or salt) is a mineral and does not impact FODMAP (carbohydrate) levels.

Sriracha has been tested for FODMAPs by Monash University. Even though it contains small amounts of garlic, sriracha is low FODMAP in servings up to 1 teaspoon or 5 grams. This amount should be tolerated by most. However, avoid if you're concerned or suspect a non-FODMAP intolerance to spicy foods (capsaicin).

Instructions

To make this simple broccoli side dish, simply:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Variations

Dislike spicy? Omit or reduce the amount of sriracha or red pepper flakes. Or, substitute with a ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger.
