Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 2 1/2 cups of baby spinach is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/2 cup per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid baby spinach, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cassava flour, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, salt, and cilantro. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (roughly 18–20 meatballs) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
