3 Epic Low FODMAP Sharing Platters

Last updated on Dec 12th, 2019 Authored by Alana Scott     Reviewed by Geraldine Van Oord (APD)
Low FODMAP Sharing Platters

Oh hello! Lots of you have been popping into our inbox with a super important question: What low FODMAP dish can I take to share at my work place, Christmas party, pot luck, BBQ, or family dinner?  I’ve heard you. I know that you want a super delicious plate that is going to satisfy everyone, right? Well my low FODMAP sharing platters have you covered!

These sharing platters or antipasto platters are perfect for any occasion. You can scale them up to feed a mob of people or down to feed 1 or 2. You can also tinker with them and adjust the ingredients to suit your needs.

It really is a win-win for everyone involved.

Today I have not one, not two but three low FODMAP sharing platter options for you!

Here are your choices:

  1. Classic Cheese Board (yes that’s right cheese is low FODMAP)
  2. Rockin’ Dip Sharing Board
  3. Sweet Treat Heaven Board

Are you ready? Let’s get started.

Low FODMAP Sharing Platters

Classic Low FODMAP Cheese Board

Did someone say CHEESE?! Yes that’s right folks, cheese can be a low FODMAP option. That means a classic cheese board should be on your menu.

When it comes to cheese there is plenty to choose from. The golden rule of thumb is if the nutrition label says that sugars are 1g or less per serve, then the cheese is considered low FODMAP at that serving size.

Here are some low FODMAP cheese options for you: blue cheese, cheddar cheese, colby, gouda, brie, camembert, mozzarella, percorino, manchego cheese.

For more serving size info check out our low FODMAP cheese guide or the Monash University Low Fodmap Diet App.

The trick to a gorgeous cheese board is getting the right combo of sweet and salty so here’s what I used:

  • 3 different types of cheese: Cheddar, gouda, and camembert
  • Grapes for pops of sweetness
  • Plain rice crackers
  • Olives
  • Tiny little gherkins/cornichons (they are so cute!)
  • Salami (look for a brand with no onion or garlic)
  • Walnuts
  • Salad greens tossed in a little olive oil and lemon juice
  • Homemade bruschetta (take low FODMAP or gluten free bread, brush with garlic infused oil & butter and then bake until golden)

Rockin’ Dip Sharing Platter

This gorgeous little number is dipalicious (yes I just went there) and features lots of amazing crunchy veggies. It’s a great way to show off some tasty dips that no one will even know are low FODMAP!

Your dip options could include:

  • Low Fodmap Hummus
  • 5 Minute Beetroot Dip
  • Pumpkin Dip

If you one of our awesome FODMAP Recipe Club members then our low FODMAP sour cream & chive dip, easy Tzatziki dip or easy basil pesto make awesome options too.

Mix and Match Dip Platter Options

  • Two dips of your choice: I chose my 5 minute beetroot dip & low FODMAP hummus
  • Plain rice crackers
  • Cucumber sticks (great alternative to celery)
  • Carrot sticks
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Roasted peanuts (check no honey, onion or garlic) or toasted pumpkin & sunflower seeds
  • Salad greens tossed in a little olive oil and lemon juice (to make the plate pretty)

Low FODMAP Sweet Treat Heaven Board

If you have been scheduled to bring dessert, then I’ve got you covered. Making a decadent sweet treat platter is super duper easy and you can mix and match it with seasonal low FODMAP fruit.

Currently it’s summer here in New Zealand so this is what I featured:

  • Fresh strawberries (this fruit is super low in FODMAPs so is a great option if you are concerned about stacking)
  • Blueberries – these tart little berries are low FODMAP in ¼ cup serves
  • Pretzels – yip you heard right, wheat based pretzels are low FODMAP in ½ cup serves, or you can swap them out for gluten free pretzels
  • Pecans
  • Dark chocolate – I used 70% high quality dark chocolate
  • Marshmallows – some of you lost your minds when I posted marshmallows on Instagram. These are often low FODMAP, just avoid brands that contain sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol, isomalt, fructose, or high fructose corn syrup.
  • Dark chocolate dipping sauce (see recipe below). PS I sprinkled some freeze dried strawberries on top of the dipping sauce.
  • If you are feeling super fancy and want to do some baking, then add some little squares of brownie, sliced ginger cookies, or squares of blueberry crumble slice.

This tasty jumble of sweet treat options will be a hit. So if you want to eat some of this platter yourself, make sure you stand next to it! Otherwise it will be gone in a flash.

Are you ready to take control of your gut symptoms?

YES I WANT TOO!

No thanks, my gut is perfect.

Now my lovelies if you want to make a batch of instant low FODMAP chocolate sauce for dipping fruit/pretzels/marshmallows in then this is how I do it:

Makes ¾ cup – 6 serves – 2 tbsp per serve

Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS

¼ cup low FODMAP milk

¼ cup boiling water

½ cup soft brown sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsp maple syrup

½ tsp vanilla essence

2 tbsp cornflour/starch

3 tbsp cold water (for dissolving the cornflour)

METHOD

  1. Place the milk, boiling water, brown sugar, cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla essence in a small saucepan.
  2. Dissolve the cornflour/starch in the cold water, then whisk through the other ingredients.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture starts to gently simmer, stirring regularly. Once the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon (instead of running off it), remove from the heat and pour into a sterilised jar.
  4. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy in 2 tablespoon serves.

Final Thoughts

Did this post make you hungry? It has definitely got me drooling! I hope this post has given you the confidence to go forth and create your own awesome low FODMAP sharing platters. Don’t forget you can mix and match between my different platter ideas to make something your friends, family and co-workers will love!

Leave me a ❤️ if this is your sort of meal!It's lunch time here and I always find fritters are always a good option when I don't know what to eat.

These cheesy broccoli fritters are a favourite. What's not to love about tender pieces of broccoli and zucchini all packaged up in a cheesy batter and served with zesty lime aioli?

You can grab this low FODMAP and gluten free recipe from alittlebityummy.com or follow my profile link.

What’s your favourite lunch at the moment?

Calling all pizza lovers! 🍕Who enjoys a sneaky slice of pizza? I know I do.

Did you know it's possible to make a range of different pizza options low FODMAP? 

You need to find a gluten free pizza base and create a base sauce using a dollop of tomato paste, a sprinkle of oregano, and a few grinds of black pepper. Then add your favourite low FODMAP veggies and plain cooked meat. You can even use a small serve of chorizo or salami.

Then top with mozzarella or cheddar cheese which are both low FODMAP options or mix it up and add a garlic oil infused mayo instead.

One of my favourite combos is smoked chicken, salami, spinach & red capsicum/pepper 😍 What are your go-to toppings?

Oh hello 2021... thank you for finally joining us! Congratulations to everyone who made it through the homeschooling, sourdough baking, and Zoom meetings with no pants on year that was 2020.

Normally I’d be bouncing around setting lofty New Year resolutions right about now... but I’ve kinda lost my mojo. So instead I’ve decided just to set a few simple intentions for the year:

1️⃣ Make the bed a device free zone and get better sleep.

2️⃣Eat more veggies by making them fun.

3️⃣Take more ‘me’ time to recharge.

4️⃣Accept that I am me and that despite the health challenges and crazy struggles I’m exactly who I am meant to be and I don’t need to change.

If you want to hear more about these intentions then follow my bio link.

Otherwise leave me a comment below with your intentions for 2021 👇

Christmas cake time! I’m actually not a big fan of Christmas Cake so I made a spiced carrot cake instead.

It’s my gluten free and low FODMAP option that the whole family love.

What treats are you enjoying this Christmas?

Who's making stuffing for Christmas? I am an absolute fan of stuffing that's crunchy on the outside but fluffy on the inside.

This my friends is my 'go-to' recipe as I can prep it the day before and then just cook it for a few minutes on Christmas Day. It's also really easy to make low FODMAP, gluten free and dairy free to suit the needs of you and your guests.

Get the recipe from alittlebityymmy.com or follow my profile link.

Also if you have any leftover stuffing then try pan frying it and adding a side of eggs, bacon and spinach for an epic breakfast 🙌

What sides are you making for Christmas?

    These platters look great! However, how do I know how much of each item on the platter can be eaten in one sitting? I’m new to this, please forgive me if the answer is obvious. Thanks!

      Hi Cinde,

      Thanks for commenting! Okay, so a good rule of thumb is to limit yourself to 40g of cheese per serve. With the dips, the serving size is usually 2 tablespoons per dip. Carrots and cucumbers stick you can eat freely. Low FODMAP nuts like peanuts, walnuts, and pecans can be enjoyed in a small handful. Strawberries & grapes are also very low in FODMAPs, try a 1 cup serving. Also, don’t forget to use the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet app for more serving size information: https://www.monashfodmap.com/ibs-central/i-have-ibs/get-the-app/
