Notes
I use garlic infused oil instead of fresh garlic to keep FODMAPs low. Maple syrup adds natural sweetness without driving the FODMAP load too high just keep it moderate for servings.
Sauce chills well and flavors meld overnight. Warm it before serving for softer texture. Try adding a few drops of liquid smoke for deeper flavor. Or stir in chopped chives at serving FODMAP safe and fresh.

How To Make FODMAP BBQ Sauce Tastier?
To make FODMAP BBQ sauce tastier, try adding a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice for brightness and a touch of natural sweetness.
A small amount of liquid smoke deepens the flavor, giving it a more authentic barbecue edge. Use freshly ground black pepper and smoked paprika for a bolder finish.
For a spicy kick, a pinch of chipotle powder or cayenne can enhance depth without overwhelming the palate. Letting the sauce simmer a bit longer can also intensify the flavors and create a richer, smoother texture.
Pro Tips And Tricks
➣ Use garlic infused olive oil instead of fresh garlic to keep the sauce low-FODMAP while still adding rich flavor.
➣ Balance sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup and brown sugar according to taste preferences.
➣ Simmer the sauce slowly to allow flavors to meld and deepen, avoiding a sharp or raw taste.
➣ Choose a Worcestershire sauce that is certified gluten free and free from onion and garlic ingredients
➣ Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator to let flavors develop even more over time.

How To Store Leftovers
Store leftover FODMAP BBQ sauce in a clean, airtight container to maintain freshness. Keep it refrigerated to prevent spoilage and preserve flavor.
