Eggplant, or aubergine as it is known in the United Kingdom, is a member of the nightshade family and is related to tomatoes and potatoes. It is commonly regarded as a vegetable, but it is actually a fruit. Because botanically speaking, that is what it is, some people think of it as a berry. Is eggplant low in FODMAP? It does not matter how you choose to classify it; nevertheless, eggplant is low in FODMAPs.

Eggplant is low in FODMAP. In a single cup, eggplant is low in FODMAP according to Monash University. It is medium FODMAP in 2 and a half cups, according to FODMAP Friendly. It was tested as low FODMAP in 75-gram servings by FODMAP Friendly. Low-FODMAP eggplant dip may be found in a serving of 2 tablespoons.

You may find recipes for ganoush (or ghanouj or ghanoush), smoky eggplant dip, moutabal or (moutabel), or eggplant dip roasted, and they may be identical to ours – or different! According to some sources, moutabel should never be made with tahini, yet there are numerous versions that do include it.

It does not matter, because our Low FODMAP Eggplant Dip is made of roasted eggplant, lemon juice, a very small tinch tahini, and garlic-infused oil. Do not forget the salt; it is crucial.

How To The Roast Eggplant

Place the eggplant on a grill or directly in the ashes of a wood fire. If you are grilling, use it to roast the entire eggplant. You may even nestle the eggplant in amongst the coals.

Your dish will also work if you are operating inside your oven. Use a high temperature and roast until wrinkled and soft, usually between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

How To Cook Low FODMAP Eggplant Dip

The delicious Low FODMAP Eggplant Dip is only as good as the eggplant it is made with. The key to its success is properly cooked eggplant. Just make sure the eggplant is fully soft before cooking it. Within its skin, it should be almost liquid. When I cut into it, you can see that the inner flesh is soft and squirting out of the skin on the upper right. It separates rather easily from the skin, which you can observe in this photo on the top right.

Mashing the eggplant in a bowl by hand appeals to me. The rougher texture that results rings my bells. If you want a smoother texture, process it in a food processor using a metal blade.
