Hey FODMAPers and Friends.
Last night I whipped up the most ah-mazing tacos…roasted chickpea tacos! I seasoned the chickpeas with Casa de Sante’s Chili Seasoning, a nice blend of chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, cumin, hing (asafoetida), and oregano. I drizzled the chickpeas with a little garlic infused olive oil and added just a sprinkle of sea salt and then roasted them up!
Roasted chickpeas are my new favorite treat! They are a great plant based protein that is fiber rich…and are so reasonably priced!
Just remember the low FODMAP limit of chickpeas is 1/4 cup portion of canned chickpeas!
Today’s post is a sponsored post from my friends at Casa de Sante. I love the opportunity to create fun recipes with Casa de Sante’s delicious spice blends. 🙂
To save time, I roasted the chickpeas on the middle rack in the oven and placed the corn tortillas on the bottom rack to lightly toast them. If you haven’t used soft corn tortillas before…they are so delicious. Just don’t over-cook or the tacos will not bend and they will be a bit more challenging to eat!
These tacos were super yummy with the chili seasoned roasted chickpeas alone…but you can also opt to top your taco with roasted shrimp, grilled chicken or a combo of suitable protein rich options. My son and husband, added shrimp, chicken AND the roasted chickpeas on top of their tortillas.

Do you have a recipe for low FODMAP granola. All the GF ones I’ve found contain honey.

Yes, search granola in the search bar on the right side of the blog home page–mid way down.

Great taco suggestion! Glad to know chickpeas are fodmap friendly in small quantities.
I’m wondering if Garden of Life Organic Raw Protein Powder is considered low fodmap? I love smoothies for breakfast or lunch but I’m not sure if they are safe.

Sorry for the delay, Amanda. Feel free to send the ingredients of the raw protein powder–and I can take an educated guess for you.

Hi Kate,
First, I want to thank you for the work you put into your website and educating others about the FODMAP diet. I was diagnosed with IBS about 10 years ago. I’ve recently gone through a bad flare-up and have been feeling terrible the past few months. I really couldn’t determine what was triggering my symptoms. I have been doing the FODMAP elimination diet for almost three weeks now and I feel so much better. I’m so grateful for your site and others who share their knowledge and experience with this diet. It has helped me tremendously. Thank you!
Here is the information about the protien powder I was curious about:

I would not recommend that product –too many untested ingredients. You can check out my Pinterest board for other protein powder recommendations + other brandname ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/katescarlta/your-fodmap-kitchen/

Ok, thanks for checking into it!
