Description

These Cheesy Low FODMAP Low Carb Scalloped Fauxtatoes made with low FODMAP quantities of turnips or rutabaga instead of potatoes offer a creamy and unbelievably delicious low FODMAP low carb side dish for your Easter, Thanksgiving, or Sunday dinner table. If you don’t mind the carbs, simply use white potatoes instead! Lactose-free (if needed) and gluten-free.

Ingredients

UnitsScale

• Ghee or butter (for greasing the baking dish)
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 pound turnips, rutabaga* or white potatoes (if not low carb), peeled and sliced into ¼-inch-thick slices
• ¼ cup cream cheese (lactose-free if needed), chopped into ½-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
• ½ cup heavy cream (lactose-free if needed)
• ¼ cup low FODMAP chicken bone broth (store-bought or homemade)
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground white pepper* or ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves or ½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (lactose-free if needed), coarsely shredded
• Sprigs of fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (I use convection). Grease a 1.5 quart* baking dish with ghee or butter.
2. Steam the turnips: Pour 1 cup cold water into an Instant Pot or large saucepan. Place a vegetable steamer basket into the pot and spread the turnips evenly on top. If using an Instant Pot, close the lid, set the pressure release valve to “Sealing,” press the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button, set the timer for 1 minute, and quick release the pressure once the cooking cycle completes. If using a saucepan on the stovetop, place on high heat, cover, and steam until turnips are slightly soft, about 10 minutes. Remove vegetable steamer basket from the pot to a plate to cool while you prepare the sauce.
3. Prepare the sauce: Place a small saucepan on medium heat on the stovetop. Add cream cheese and garlic-infused olive oil and whisk together as cream cheese melts until fully melted. Slowly whisk in heavy cream, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove sauce from heat.
4. Assemble scalloped fauxtatoes: Place ¼ of the sliced turnips in a single layer in the baking dish (they can overlap slightly). Cover with ¼ of the sauce, spreading it evenly over the turnips with a spatula. Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese evenly over the sauce. Repeat these steps 3 more times with the remaining turnips, sauce, and cheese, ending with cheese on top.
5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until turnips are tender and cheese is golden. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.

Notes

• Baking dish: As written, this recipe makes about six, heaping ⅓ cup servings using a 1.5 quart baking dish. If making for a crowd, double the recipe and use a 2.5 quart (9-inch x 13-inch) baking dish.
• Low FODMAP serving sizes (per Monash University's Low FODMAP Diet App):
  • Turnip - sorbitol - up to ½ turnip or 75 grams per serving;
  • Rutabaga - sorbitol - up to 1 cup or 75 grams per serving.
• Turnips vs. rutabaga: Turnip is my preferred tuber for this recipe as they are typically smaller in size, easier to slice on a mandolin, and more similar in texture and taste to a potato than a rutabaga. For more information on how to chop and peel turnips, see my Low FODMAP Low Carb Pot Roast recipe post. However, if you malabsorb sorbitol, ⅓ cup serving size of these fauxtatoes will put you closer to the maximum tolerable amount per serving. Once peeled and tops removed, you're getting about 58 grams of turnips per serving (maximum for low FODMAP is 75 grams/serving). Be careful of other things you may eat that contain the FODMAP sorbitol, and use rutabaga or regular white potatoes if you are concerned about going above the tolerable amount.
• White pepper – I use white pepper to keep the sauce looking “cleaner” but black pepper also works if you prefer not to buy a whole canister of white pepper just for this recipe. There are a number of recipes on this blog that call for white pepper.
