    Swiss chard is one of those veggies that a lot of people are unsure about. It’s green and leafy and when cooked, looks kind of like something Popeye would eat. All of these are true statements, but don’t let that discourage you from trying this nutrition-powerhouse. Swiss chard is packed with magnesium and vitamins A and C, and it just happens to be one of my go-to’s!

    I LOVE eating swiss chard for breakfast. And, this Low FODMAP Swiss Chard and Bacon is delicious topped with eggs for breakfast (or brunch) or served as a side with pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes for supper! The best part, you only need four ingredients and it takes less than 15 minutes to make. Yeehaw! 😀

    Shopping list

    To make this easy low FODMAP side dish, add these ingredients to your shopping list:

    • Garlic-infused oil – 1 tablespoon
    • Bacon – 4 slices
    • Swiss chard – 6 cups chopped leaves (about ½ pound)
    • Optional: Red pepper flakes

    Low FODMAP notes

    In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that 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 has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.

    Swiss chard is considered a FODMAP-free food. Enjoy according to your appetite.
