Veggie Side Dishes
Here are all of our favorite veggie side dishes! Many of them are quick and perfect for a busy weeknight.
Cabbage Steaks are a versatile, fun cabbage recipe that you can dress up or down as much as you like. We loved it with dill pesto.
I know the turkey doesn’t want to hear this, but it’s all about Thanksgiving sides. There, I said it. Here’s a running list of some of my favorite (mostly) healthy Thanksgiving side dishes. You’ll find a mix of paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-carb recipes here.
I love easy vegetable side dishes where you toss everything into a pan and forget about it for a while. That’s the case with this beet recipe! They’re cooked in a sweet balsamic orange glaze that’s rich and delicious.
This is such a versatile Brussels sprout hash! It makes a great breakfast with a fried egg, a light lunch or dinner, or a stovetop Thanksgiving side dish! Because there’s never enough oven space, amiright?
These mashed sweet potatoes are easily made in your Instant Pot and have a unique orange-chili butter mixed in! This flavor combination is STELLAR and more delicious than you’d think!
I’m excited to start organizing my recipes into little collections like this! We’re starting with the best Brussels sprout recipes on my site. Did you know it’s actually Brussels sprouts and not brussel sprouts? Yep. Brussels as in the capital of Belgium. And it’s capitalized. I’m a big fan of Brussels sprouts, so I’m on …
We eat a lot of cabbage slaw around here. Mostly the Southwest Cabbage Slaw that I posted years ago. (It’s still a family favorite!) I wanted to create another slaw that had a creamy dressing, but not heavy like a coleslaw. This one is DELICIOUS. I’ll show you how to make it (hint: dump and …
Are you a fan of pickled red onions? I am. Completely. It’s one of those things that I love to eat when I eat out, but never made at home until recently — which is CRAZY because they’re ridiculously easy. OK, I lied. I did make them once. There was this pickled red onion recipe …
Cooking Pumpkin and Squash in an Instant Pot is ridiculously easy! Learn how to make your own Pumpkin Puree – perfect for using in any recipe that calls for tinned puree (Like my Butternut Pasta Sauce!). If you have more squash than you know what to do with, you can easily cook and freeze it …
This homemade guacamole, like the Homemade Pico de Gallo recipe I posted earlier this week, is one of my oldest recipes. A 2008 post with crappy photos really wasn’t doing it justice, and, to be honest, I’ve tweaked this recipe a lot depending on what I have on hand. Did you know making homemade guacamole …
If we still have tomatoes on the vine here in Idaho, I KNOW we’re not alone. Snag some of those ripe beauties and make some pic de gallo before everything is frozen over and dead! This homemade pico de gallo recipe is actually one of the original recipes from my first year of blogging (2008!) …
I can’t believe that I’m posting a recipe that’s basically a bowl of mushrooms. I used to hate mushrooms — did you know this? It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned to appreciate them. Butter may have had something to do with it. Mushrooms sauteed in butter were my gateway. AND THEN …
Italian seasoning is pretty straightforward, right? Why make homemade Italian seasoning? It’s usually a blend of 4-5 herbs. No fillers or sweeteners or weird ingredients. As far as seasoning blends go, it’s pretty clean. So, why bother making it? Because the regular stuff is boring. There. I said it.
Curry Roasted Cauliflower is the only form of cauliflower my kids will eat without complaining. I consider this a grand victory! One night I was in a creative mood during dinner prep. You might think that as a food blogger I’m always in a creative mood when I’m in the kitchen.
I have this great friend named Kristi. She has been a reader of my blog for at least 9-10 years. And we even met in person once! (I happened to be near where she lived once so I totally knocked on her door at 10:30PM like a creeper. And she still likes me.) Kristi has …
I wasn’t a fan of vegetables as a kid unless it was in the form of baby carrots dipped in ranch dressing. Or (insert cooked vegetable) covered with Cheez Whiz. And green beans were completely off my list. Well, until I was an adult and tried fresh green beans that had been sauteed. Then, I …
This oven hash brown method is by FAR my most favorite way to make large batches of sweet potato hash browns. Making sweet potato hash browns in a skillet (cast iron is good!) is definitely an option, too, but it takes a long time to make multiple batches if you’re feeding more people. And honestly …
I’m usually a savory squash girl, but making roasted butternut squash with maple and my homemade chai spice was the best decision I made this Thanksgiving!
Have you tried Pan-Fried Green Beans with Bacon? It’s the ONLY way to eat green beans, really. The beans are crisp-tender and infused with the amazing taste of bacon – what could be better? It’s also just TWO ingredients (I’ll let you guess which two), a hot skillet for sautéing and you’re set! Green beans …
This delicious cauliflower puree is full of flavor and easily made in your Instant Pot! Serve it as a low carb alternative to regular mashed potatoes or a nutritious side dish alongside a roast or pork chops.
Here’s how to make a dry brine turkey — along with a flavorful herb butter for good measure! It’s so much easier than using a wet brine.
There’s nothing better than the smell of roasted fall vegetables, no? This easy side dish would be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table!
Who knew that cabbage caramelized in bacon drippings could be such a delicious and easy side dish?
If you’ve never liked kale chips, I urge you to try these. Massaging lemon juice into the kale takes away the bitterness, and the ranch seasoning + nutritional yeast is a delicious combination!
