The trick to enjoying low FODMAP roasted vegetables is roasting them in the oven! This process creates the nuttiest, caramelized, and most tasty vegetables. Using garlic oil, dijon mustard, and spices gives the vegetables just enough flavor to let the flavors of the veggies shine but compliments them at the same time.
Say goodbye to sad, limp, bland veggies. This quick and easy side dish is perfect for the holidays. It is also easily customized - not a fan of parsnips, switch it out for something you love. As long as what you choose works for your tolerance level while on the low FODMAP diet and is in a safe serving size!

Step-By-Step Instructions
Place cut veggies into a large bowl.
Combine the garlic oil, dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, dried dill, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the oil mixture over the cut-up veggies and stir. Make sure the broccoli is well coated, as it tends to burn the quickest.
Use two sheet pans covered with parchment paper, and spread the vegetables in a single layer.
Roast in a 400 degree F oven for thirty minutes. Halfway through the baking time, stir and rotate pans to different racks.
Tips and Tricks
Purchase: A great shortcut is buying chopped vegetables in the produce department.
Skip Peeling: If you wash the veggies well, and skip the peeling part and go straight to chopping.
Chopping Size Tips: The key to roasting various vegetables at the same time is cutting them to a certain size:
- Bell Peppers - Remove the seeds and membranes(that white part) and cut them into ¾ inch pieces or ½ inch strips.
- Parsnips - Cut the thick part of the vegetable in half lengthwise and then cut them in half into 1 ½ inch pieces.
- Sweet Potatoes & Baby Potatoes - These vegetables take longer to roast, so cut them into ¾ inch pieces.
- Green Beans - Chop off the ends of the green beans and leave them as is. They roast very quickly.
- Broccoli - Cut broccoli florets into pieces ½ to ¾ inches long and discard the stem.
Ingredient Swaps
- Carrots - Use whole carrots, peeled and cut 1½ inch pieces.
- Rutabaga - Peel and dice into 1½ inch pieces.
- Turnip - Peel and dice into 1-inch pieces.
- Yellow Squash - Dice into 1-inch pieces.
- Yam - Peeled and diced into a similar size as a potato.
Variations
Cheesy Roasted Vegetables: When the vegetables are warm from the oven, add a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan or feta cheese. For a dairy-free option, use nutritional yeast.
Citrus-Flavored Roasted Vegetables: Add lemon slices to the baking sheets and squeeze the roasted lemon juice over the vegetables to add a punch of freshness.
Fresh Herb Roasted Vegetables: Add fresh chopped-up herbs to the roasted vegetables after they are done roasting.
Storing And Reheating
Store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days
Reheat: It is best to reheat the veggies on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F or in the microwave.
Freeze: Freeze leftovers in a freezer-friendly container or freezer bags for up to 3 months. It is best to reheat from frozen. The vegetables may be soggy, but they will still taste great!
Ways To Use Beyond A Side Dish
- Salads: Add roasted vegetables to a salad. Purchase a bag of lettuce greens and top them with roasted vegetables. Drizzle Italian dressing over it all.
- Pasta: Make a batch of pasta sauce and toss roasted vegetables into the pasta.

FAQs
Yes! I love to keep the kitchen cool in the summer and use the grill instead. Use either a vegetable grill basket or two tin foil packets to cook the vegetables. The smoke flavor from the grill will be great!
Meal Planning Tips
Peel and cut the vegetables a day in advance and mix up the oil mixture. By the time the oven preheats, the vegetables can be mixed with the oil on the baking sheets and put in the oven for roasting!
Serve this side dish with low FODMAP pork tenderloin, low FODMAP BBQ bacon chicken, oven-baked ham steaks, ham balls, or meatloaf—all delicious main dishes that go great with roasted veggies.
