5 Quick Low FODMAP Meals

Low FODMAP has worked wonders on improving my IBS symptoms and allowing me to manage them. The diet itself does get easier to follow (trust me!), but I’m often asked for meal plans as sometimes cooking from scratch isn’t realistic as part of a busy working week. And understandably it can be difficult to know where to start with the diet. So I thought I’d share a few of my favourite, go-to meals which are quick to prepare and relatively healthy. If you’re after quick pizzas or ready meals, check out my Low FODMAP Favourites posts (Part 1 & Part 2) which include some of my staple food shop items, as let’s be honest – we all need a pizza from time-to-time!

The quickest meals I haven’t featured include jacket potatoes, salad, steak and chips, or other meat/fish with vegetables, however these are relatively easy to make. The five recipes I’ve chosen below are simple, quick to prepare and taste great after a long day at work.

  1. Sausage & Roast Vegetable Bake
Print Recipe

Sausage & Roast Vegetable Bake

Ingredients

  • 5 Carrots (thin green-topped taste the best)
  • 1 Courgette
  • 200 g Vine tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Garlic-infused oil
  • 6 Gluten free, low FODMAP sausages (or 12 Chipolatas – or a mix of the two!)
  • 800 g Potato (approximately 5 potatoes diced)
  • 2 sprigs Rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 or 180 degrees. 
  • In an ovenproof dish, add the potatoes and finely chopped rosemary, season, drizzle with oil and mix well. 

  • Add the carrots, courgettes (chopped into semicircles), sausages and garlic infused oil and place in the oven. 
  • Bake for 30 minutes (turning the sausages halfway). 
  • Add the vine tomatoes to the top and place in the oven for a further 5-10 minutes. Check the sausages are cooked (particularly if using thick ones), then serve. 

This recipe is great for weeknight’s as it’s quick to put in the oven, full of lots of healthy vegetables and most importantly, is really tasty! I’ve made this twice in the past couple of weeks as I enjoyed it so much! I’ve tried it with Sainsbury’s Cumberland chipolatas as well as Heck gluten free sausages and they both work well.

2. Mixed Vegetable & Potato Hash

Print Recipe

Mixed Vegetable & Potato Hash

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 500 g Potato (diced)
  • 25 g Curly Kale
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • ½ Courgette
  • ¼ Sweet potato (diced)
  • 100 g Pancetta cubes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Garlic-infused oil

Instructions

  • Place the diced potato and sweet potato in the oven on Gas Mark 6 or 200 degrees for 20 mins or until softened slightly.
  • In a large pan, heat a little garlic-infused oil then add the finely chopped courgette, red pepper, potato and sweet potato and fry on a medium heat. 
  • Add pancetta (optional). 
  • Once the vegetables have softened and are almost cooked, make four small indentations and gently add the eggs. Top with chopped curly kale and parsley, put a lid on and cook until the eggs are to your taste. 

This one pan potato hash is so versatile that you can add any vegetables that you have in the fridge. I’ve previously made it with added aubergine or even butternut squash and it’s always delicious. I personally like adding a little bacon too.

3. Sweet & Sour Chicken with Egg Fried Rice

This really is a super quick and easy meal as no recipe is required as such… Just a jar of Bay’s Kitchen Sweet & Sour sauce. I was gifted these sauces to try a little while ago now, but this one stands out as one of the best low FODMAP sauce options on the market. I served it with Marks & Spencer gluten free chicken goujons, a little homemade egg-fried rice (I just cooked a packet of microwaveable rice in a pan with egg and a handful of peas for a low FODMAP portion) and prawn crackers. The ideal fakeaway for after work, which doesn’t take long at all to make! This would also work well with the gluten free cod goujons which are now available in Aldi, or just plain chicken.

4. Oyster Mushroom Pasta

Print Recipe

Oyster Mushroom Pasta

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 125 g Oyster Mushrooms (available from Sainsbury’s or Ocado)
  • 150 g Spinach Finely chopped
  • 20 g Basil
  • 20 g Parmesan
  • ¼ Chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp Garlic-infused oil
  • 200 g Gluten free tortiglioni (could use any type of gluten free pasta)

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, add the gluten free pasta to boiling water. 
  • While the pasta cooks, in a frying pan, heat the chilli flakes in the garlic-infused oil. Finely chop the oyster mushrooms, spinach and basil. 
  • After 30 seconds add the oyster mushrooms. spinach, and basil and stir well as it cooks. 
  • Once the pasta has cooked, drain the water and stir in the mushroom mixture. (Optional – add a tablespoon of creme fraiche). Serve and top with parmesan cheese. 

This quick and easy pasta dish has become one of my favourites since finding out that oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP. I personally love mushrooms and I’m very pleased to have them back in my diet.

5. Sticky Soy Salmon with Rice & Vegetables

Print Recipe

Sticky Soy Salmon with Vegetables & Rice

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon fillets
  • 1 Green Pepper
  • 1 Yellow Pepper
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1 Tin of beansprouts in water (fresh could be used instead)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (gluten free)
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (if not low FODMAP, honey can be used instead)
  • 2 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1 Thai Jasmine rice (microwaveable or boil in the bag)
  • 1 tbsp Garlic-infused oil

Instructions

  • Add a bag of rice to a pan of boiling water and leave to cook for 15 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, slice the peppers into strips, and fry with beansprouts in garlic-infused oil. 
  • Mix together the soy sauce, ground ginger and maple syrup to make the sticky sauce. Rub this over the salmon, and place the remainder in the pan with the peppers and beansprouts. 
  • Once the vegetables have softened, add the salmon and fry this skin-side down for about 10 minutes or until cooked. 
  • Serve on top of the fried vegetables with a side of Thai rice. 

This meal can also be served with the Sainsbury’s crispy chilli beef, or rice noodles instead of rice. It’s a quick and easy stir fry packed full of flavour.

Other relatively quick meals which already feature on my blog include:

Pasta Alla Norma – a delicious aubergine pasta.
Salmon & Prawn Spaghetti – a creamy, seafood spaghetti.
Aubergine Parmigiana – a cheesy, baked dish filled with aubergine and tomato.
Chicken Fajitas – a quick spice mix for a tasty midweek meal.
Homemade Pesto – a quick, pesto pasta dish, with leftovers to add to a mozzarella and tomato toastie!
Crab Spaghetti – a cheap, yet comforting bowl of spaghetti making use of tinned crab.
Low FODMAP Korma recipes – using a pre-made spice mix from Sainsbury’s for a speedy dinner.

As always, let me know if you give any of these recipes a try, and if you’d like to see more posts like this, please let me know in the comments below.

Gluten free breaded fish cooked in the @instantpot Gluten free breaded fish cooked in the @instantpotuk air fryer (which I was kindly gifted)! I’ve been experimenting with the air fryer this past week, and this has been one of my favourites! I bought some cod fillets from @aldiuk then dipped them in egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, then air-fried for 15 minutes. Delicious! Served with @auntbessiesofficial chips and a small portion of mushy peas (reintroduced). The fish fillets had a crisp coating, but were so moist inside and just fell apart. Exactly how it should be! The air fryer cooks and crisps food, while maintaining moisture, I’d highly recommend it. Have you got an air fryer? Let me know your meals to make below.🐟🐠
Sunny weekends call for breakfast pancake platters Sunny weekends call for breakfast pancake platters! I made the banana and chia pancakes from my blog and served them with strawberries, blueberries, icing sugar, lactose-free yoghurt and maple syrup. Perfect for a spring morning! These are my go-to pancakes at the moment as they’re quick and easy to make, they have a lovely texture and they are that little bit healthier too!🍓🥞🫐 Have you tried this recipe yet? Use the swipe up link in my story to give it a try!
Last night we tried the @quorn_uk Turkish style ke Last night we tried the @quorn_uk Turkish style kebab with homemade gluten free flatbread, lettuce, tomato, air-fried chips and homemade low FODMAP tzatiki. The kebab-style meat is vegan, gluten free and it doesn’t contain any onion or garlic (I double checked!) This was so quick and easy to make, and most importantly, it tasted incredible! I love incorporating more meat free meals into our diet, especially when they taste this good! Let me know if you give it a try.
Gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP lemon drizz Gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP lemon drizzle cakes 🍋 Since the sun has been making more appearances, I was really craving a spring bake filled with citrus flavours. I absolutely love the lemon drizzle loaf on my blog, so I thought I’d give individual cakes a try. Delicious! Let me know if you’d like the recipe.
Vegan chilli con carne! As it’s the Easter holid Vegan chilli con carne! As it’s the Easter holidays I’m trying to reintroduce different portions and combinations of vegetables into my diet, as I’m so keen to reduce my meat and fish consumption while maintaining a happy and healthy gut. My vegan chilli contains mixed peppers, fresh chillies, tinned mushroom, roasted sweet potato, plum tomatoes and a few mixed beans. It was so tasty! I can’t wait to try more vegan recipes. I served it with a little avocado (high FODMAP which I’ve reintroduced) and some basmati rice. Despite all the potential triggers, the after effects weren’t too bad! Worth it potentially for such a delicious and nutritious meal. How have your reintroductions been going? Is there anything you can now tolerate?
AD I’ve been using @foodmarble for a few weeks n AD I’ve been using @foodmarble for a few weeks now and I’ve been finding the results so helpful. The device measures hydrogen levels in your breath to see how well you digest certain foods. If foods are not very well digested, they will ferment, releasing more hydrogen. Today I have begun introducing FODMAPs and I started with fructose. I don’t know about you but I’d love to enjoy a wider variety of fruit this summer. I drank the sachet provided (the equivalent fructose levels found in two apples) and recorded breath tests throughout the day. The app showed that my hydrogen levels gradually increased, particularly after consuming the sachet. I predicted this might happen as apples were one of the first foods that ever upset me - I rarely ate them because of it! I now know to continue consuming low amounts of fructose in my diet. I will be trying the rest of the FODMAP reintroductions (lactose, sorbitol and inulin) in the next couple of weeks, so watch this space!

What a beautiful sunny day! Despite it being cold, What a beautiful sunny day! Despite it being cold, sunshine like this calls for a delicious, healthy salad featuring some mini salmon burgers I found in @waitrose. These are onion and garlic free, and a nice change from beef burgers! They are flavoured with dill and lemon which can be a little overpowering, but they were perfect with a light salad. I am probably one of the few people who has watched Seaspiracy yet still eats fish. I found it a very interesting watch, but there wasn’t anything I wasn’t already aware of from following @davidattenborough, @ricobarry, @seashepherd and from my degree in Zoology however I’m desperately trying to cut down on all animal consumption - both meat and fish. Following a low FODMAP diet with a nut allergy is hard enough without further restrictions, although I do carefully consider how I can reduce consumption over the long term. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this... the government need to protect more marine areas to make a real difference in my view..!🐟🌊🐠

Happy Easter 🐣🌼🐰 what a lovely sunny morn Happy Easter 🐣🌼🐰 what a lovely sunny morning! Today we are going on a long dog walk, chilling in the garden and eating this @cadburyuk mini egg filled sponge cake! I used the celebration drip cake recipe from my blog for the sponges, removed a hole of sponge in the middle layer to fill with mini eggs and then decorated with buttercream and eggs. Delicious! Note the tinged edge to the middle layer - we are in desperate need of a new oven but currently saving for a whole new kitchen! It cooks so unevenly and I have to guess the oven temperature as the numbers have worn off 🙈 I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday!

AD (gifted/invite) A couple of weeks ago I was inv AD (gifted/invite) A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a cookalong with @circulonuk to launch their brand new SteelShield Chef’s Pan. This was exciting enough, then I found out that the chef running the cookalong was Masterchef’s @marcuswareing. I had such a great time learning from the expert himself and using the new pan from Circulon. We made a delicious mustard-stuffed chicken breast and served it with a rich, creamy sauce, oyster mushrooms and pan-fried gem lettuce. The flavours, textures and FODMAP friendly substitutes made for an incredible meal. What an amazing opportunity. Check out my stories to find out more! #FearlessCooking #BuiltForLife
