Aubergines are one of my favourite vegetables. I’m so glad they’re allowed on the low FODMAP diet, I’m going to enjoy experimenting with aubergine recipes for this blog. This is such an easy one to try if you’re having a barbecue, not much preparation, really tasty. The aubergine slices can also be cooked on griddle pan, turning a couple of times to give a nice criss cross pattern.

Sorry, I just figured out that Aubergine = eggplant, which is a big NO on my FODMAP list ?
Hi Brittney, that’s right Aubergine and Eggplant are the same. It is a low FODMAP food, I always check the Monash University Low FODMAP app which is a great resource. However I know from my own patients that there are foods they don’t tolerate for another reason even though they are are low FODMAP. Best wishes, Louisa
