Keep It FODMAP Friendly
These low FODMAP green beans make a quick and easy holiday side dish. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.
First, according to Monash University, green beans are safe in servings up to 86 g (12-ish beans). Servings of 17 beans or more are high in the polyol sorbitol, so make sure you keep count. Especially if you plan on having seconds.
This recipe also uses almonds. The Monash app says almonds are safe in servings of 10 nuts (12 g). Servings of 20 nuts (24 g or more) are high in galactooligosaccharides (GOS). Our recipe uses 2 tbsp of slivered almonds, which works out to 1.9 g per serving. This is within the recommended range
Pick Your Headliner
These low FODMAP green beans are easy to scale up or down. So, they’re a great side whether you’re having a quiet family dinner or a holiday bash.
I like to pair my green beans with my breaded pork chops or a seasoned chicken breast. They also work well with roasted meats like pot roast, ham, or a traditional turkey dinner.
