Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) on bake function. Peel and cut the potato and pumpkin (or sweet potato) into pieces before placing in a roasting dish. Drizzle in neutral oil and toss so the veggies are well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Then prep the chicken drumsticks.
- In a small bowl mix together the maple syrup and garlic infused olive oil. In another bowl mix together the dried spices (ground coriander, turmeric, yellow mustard powder, paprika, cumin, ground cloves, and black pepper). Oil the bottom of a roasting dish and place the chicken drumsticks in it. Drizzle the maple syrup and olive oil over the chicken and rub it in. Then sprinkle the top of the chicken drumsticks with the spice mixture until they are well coated. You may have some spice mixture left over and that’s ok.
- Then bake the chicken drumsticks and roast veggies and for about 45 minutes, until the veggies are crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Toss the veggies once or twice while cooking.
- Prep the carrots, broccoli and green beans by cutting them into small pieces. Ten minutes before serving dinner put a medium sized pot of water on to boil. Then blanche the veggies for 2 to 3 minutes until they are brightly coloured and tender.
- Serve the chicken drumsticks with the roast potatoes and veggies.
Buying Tips
Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.
Make sure you use pure maple syrup (low FODMAP) not maple flavoured syrup (potentially high FODMAP).
Broccoli heads (these are also known as florets) are low FODMAP in ¾ cup servings according to Monash University. Just avoid larger servings as these can become high FODMAP.
Gluten Free Tips
Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
