Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Thanksgiving isn’t complete without the sides! From stuffing to dessert and everything in between, the sides truly steal the show. Whether you’re sticking to the classics or trying something new, these recipes will have your guests coming back for more.
Brussels Sprouts Winter Salad
This salad is full of bright and deep flavors, saturated with fried brussels sprouts, bacon, apples, goat cheese and doused in a delicious homemade garlicky vinaigrette.
Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are so underrated. They're highly nutritious filled with fiber, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants - and they're super delicious. This is a double roasted method to achieve a perfectly satisfying, crispy, salty, garlicky, sweet sweet potato.
Homemade Stuffing
Stuffing that’s homemade is incomparable to the boxed stuff. The flavors are richer and the texture is pillowier. Stuffing makes a delicious side to not only a big holiday meal, but also for your average "Sunday Dinner" meal. Total cook-time is 70 minutes.
Creamed Corn Bread
This cornbread side dish is a must on the table for Thanksgiving. The texture is delightful; sort of like a bread-pudding with sweet pops of corn throughout. So good. Make it dairy free with plant butter and Tofutti sour cream.
Blackberry & Fig Goat Cheese Spread
Goat cheese makes for the best spread on crackers. And when you add fig jam for a little sweetness, and reduced blackberries for a little sweet & sour, there's not much otherwise that’s a better concoction for crackers. Besides adding fresh basil leaves. Nowww you’re talkin'.
Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
Brussel sprouts are best known to pair with bacon, but tossing with roasted garlic brings them to a whole new level.
Roasted Garlic
Roasted garlic is sweet and mild, and will elevate any dish into a luxurious and mouth-watering experience. This is such an easy recipe to make and it’ll change the way you approach garlic for lots of your dishes, including garlic bread.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto
When brussel sprouts are roasted until slightly crispy, and paired with prosciutto (or bacon), garlic and a balsamic reduction, they become a delicious appetizer or side dish you'll begin to make again and again.
Roasted Carrots & Maple Tahini
Roasted carrots are a treat all on their own; but then when you douse them with maple tahini sauce... lights out. Tahini is a sesame seed butter that doesn't inhabit a ton of flavor on it's own, but when you add flavor-enhancing ingredients to it, it becomes a fabulous sweet and salty, nutty dressing you'll make again and again.
Easy Apple Crisp
Apple crisp is a basic standard for fall desserts. This one is as easy as apples and boxed cake - literally. As the apples cook down, the juices merry into the cake mix and create the most magical caramelized crisp topping. It's a dessert everyone needs in their lives.
Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This cake (or cupcakes) is an absolute staple for our house. It’s so easy to make, moist and incredibly delicious. Then spread it with the most decadent homemade cream cheese frosting — way better than pie in my humble opinion.
