A low iodine diet is usually on the menu for thyroid cancer patients waiting for scans or treatment with radioactive iodine. The diet itself can be quite restrictive especially when eating processed foods but with a little time and effort you can dine on some simple but really delicious meals.

Fun fact – I developed most of these recipes long after I finished the diet and long after I finished my treatment and many of these dishes still feature on our weekly meal plan – they’re that good.

The best thing about these dishes is that they’re healthy, delicious and flavoursome and can be enjoyed alone or with friends and family. They’re so yummy no one will miss the iodine!

I have developed an extensive low iodine recipe repetoire over the years but here are 10 of my savoury faves!
One-Pan Baked Chicken and Walnuts

Tasty roasted veggies, juicy roasted chicken and crunchy walnuts – this one pan wonder has it all! This dish is as yummy as it is colourful and it’s super easy to throw together.

Lamb Stoba

Stoba is a popular Caribbean stew and traditionally it’s made with goat although I make it with lamb because a) it’s easier to get hold of and b) my husband is not a goat lover! This recipe is super versatile though and you can use any trimmed meat and it will still be delicious.

Maple Glazed Chicken

This chicken dish is quick, easy and super delish – a real winner, winner chicke...
