Tender Italian Meatballs with Simple Marinara (Low FODMAP)
20 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-Free • Makes 24 • Ok to make-ahead: Steps 1 - 5
Let's be real - traditional Italian meatballs are an absolute minefield of onions and garlic, making them completely off-limits when you're managing IBS. But here's the beautiful truth: you don't need those FODMAPs to create meatballs that are tender, flavorful, and taste like they came straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen.
The secret? Smoke N Sanity's Essence of Garlic Salt and Essence of Onion Salt deliver all that savory depth without any of the digestive drama. Combined with fresh parsley, quality Parmesan, and a mix of beef and pork, these meatballs are incredibly moist and packed with flavor. The lactose-free sour cream keeps them tender while the simple tomato sauce lets all the flavor shine through.
