Low FODMAP Popcorn Tips + Tricks

Gather Your Ingredients

This recipe uses popcorn kernels (or microwave popcorn), butter + sea salt as the base of the recipe. You’ll customize the flavors after preparing the popcorn.

Here is everything you will need for the base recipe:

Low FODMAP Popcorn Ingredients

Prepare The Popcorn

You can choose to use your favorite microwave popcorn if you’re looking for the most hands-off approach to this recipe. Just be sure to choose a brand that is organic + does not contain any additional flavorings or additives.

My favorite method is using the stovetop or this handy popcorn popper that makes homemade popcorn from kernels right in the microwave. Simply add 3-6 tbsp of popcorn kernels to the popper and add 1 tbsp of butter to the center of the lid. Microwave using your popcorn setting, sprinkle with sea salt and add whichever seasonings you desire. It’s really that simple!

Choose Your Seasonings

You might think that in order to make low FODMAP popcorn you can’t add any seasonings. Well, I’m happy to report, that’s simply not true! I’m sharing with you 4 of my all time favorite low FODMAP popcorn seasonings in this post to try whenever you’re in the mood for popcorn.

  • Rosemary + Porcini Sea Salt: this combo is the lightest of all the flavor combos, but still packs loads of delicious herbaceous and umami flavor
  • Italian Herb + Garlic Oil: if you’re a lover of garlic bread and Italian food, this is going to be your favorite!
  • Taco: tastes just like your favorite Mexican dish, but in the form of a low FODMAP snack
  • Cinnamon Sugar: dessert lovers rejoice!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Popcorn Low FODMAP?

Yes, this is a low FODMAP snack! You’ll be pleased to learn that Monash University has deemed popcorn low FODMAP and in fact the “green” serving size is actually 7 cups of popped popcorn! Which is likely more popcorn that one can eat in a single sitting, so feel free to snack away!

Is Butter Low FODMAP?

Butter is low FODMAP friendly. According to Monash University, butter is low FODMAP friendly in 1 tbsp serving sizes. If you don’t tolerate lactose, try using ghee or vegan butter in this recipe instead. Just ensure the vegan butter you are using has “clean” ingredients. Miyokos Creamery is one of my favorites.

Where do I find Low FODMAP Taco Seasoning?

This is important to note, the taco seasoning used should NOT contain garlic or onion in order for it to be low FODMAP friendly. Most mainstream brands of taco seasoning do contain garlic or onion, but there are brands on the market who make delicious seasonings that are low FODMAP friendly, like Fody Foods, Foddies and Smoke n Salty.
