low fodmap green bean casserole

If you've always been a fan of green beans and wondered if you could still enjoy green bean casserole while following a low fodmap diet, then you're going to love this recipe. This low fodmap green bean casserole tastes just like you remember, without all the additional gut-irritating ingredients, perfect for those with digestive issues who still want to enjoy the classic Thanksgiving dish. .

You might also enjoy these other low fodmap side dishes, like these Truffle Mashed Potatoes or this Gluten Free Cornbread Stuffing, perfect for the Thanksgiving season.

Why You'll Love This Green Bean Casserole

  • It's healthier & gut friendly. Traditionally green bean casserole is made using cream of mushroom soup and crispy onions, two ingredients that aren't very healthy or gut friendly. This healthy green bean casserole recipe is made using easy to digest ingredients.
  • It's simple. Requiring only a few ingredients you'll likely already have in your pantry and just about 30 minutes of your time to prepare, this is a simple low fodmap side dish to prepare  for Thanksgiving dinner.
  • It is delicious. Just because it's healthier and easier to digest does not mean this green bean casserole skimps on flavor!

Low FODMAP Green Bean Casserole Ingredients & Tested Substitutions

  • Green Beans. Fresh green beans are preferable, but frozen will do in a pinch.
  • Broth. Chicken broth or veggie broth may be used. You can make your own low fodmap broth or use store bought. Be sure to look for brands that do not contain garlic & onion if you are extra sensitive like these great low fodmap certified chicken and veggie broths from Gourmend. Use code PDL15 to save 15% off of your first order!
  • Infused Olive Oils. You will need garlic infused olive oil to make this green bean casserole. If you really miss onions & the flavor, I recommend also using shallot infused olive oil.
  • Butter. I prefer to use unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt in the dish better, as I always add salt & pepper to taste when I cook. You can use salted butter if you prefer or vegan butter if you are vegan or avoiding dairy.
  • Fresh Sage. It's preferable to use fresh but if you only have dried, ground sage that will work as well.
  • White Cheddar Cheese. I use white cheddar because I like how it pairs with the other flavors of the dish and it it also contains less lactose, but you may also use parmesan cheese or a mixture of the two. You can also use vegan cheese if you are vegan or avoiding dairy.
  • Panko Crumbs. I liked to use these gluten free panko crumbs. You can also use crushed almonds or pecans instead for grain free.
  • Oyster Mushrooms. This ingredient is optional. Oyster mushrooms are a fodmap friendly food according to Monash University in 1 cup servings.
  • Kosher Salt & Black Pepper.

Expert Tips & Tricks

  • Traditional green bean casserole typically includes mushrooms. If you are a fan of mushrooms, you can add fodmap friendly oyster mushrooms to the dish.

Low FODMAP Green Bean Casserole Step by Step Instructions

  1. Prep. Pre-heat oven to 375F and grease a small casserole dish with olive oil spray.
  2. Make the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with garlic oil & shallot oil. Add in broth, brining to a boil.
  3. Cook the green beans. Once broth is boiling, add in green beans, fresh sage, salt and pepper to taste & oyster mushrooms if using. Reduce the heat to medium and cook green beans about 10 minutes.
  4. Bake. Transfer to a baking dish using a slotted spoon, leaving behind some of the liquids, around ¼ cup. Top with cheese and panko crumbs and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble and is golden brown. Garnish with crushed pecans or almonds if desired.

Low FODMAP Green Bean Casserole FAQs

Are green beans low fodmap?

According to Monash University, green beans are low fodmap in a serving of about 75 grams, which is approximately 15 beans per meal. This means that anything larger than a 75 gram serving has the potential to cause digestive discomfort due to sorbitol.

Are mushrooms low fodmap?

Not all mushrooms are low fodmap, however oyster mushrooms are low fodmap friendly according to the Monash app. A low-fodmap serving of oyster mushroom is 1 cup.

Should I use fresh or frozen green beans?

Fresh green beans work best for this low fodmap side dish, however if you can only find frozen those will work too, you may just end up with a little extra liquid to leave behind before you've put the casserole in the oven. I do not recommend using canned green beans.

Where do I find infused olive oil?

I get both garlic infused olive oil and shallot infused olive oil from Fody Foods. You can find them in most grocery stores like Whole Foods or online through Amazon.

This low fodmap side dish pairs perfectly with other fodmap friendly holiday favorites like:
