Delectable Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Try something new this holiday
Sure, the turkey is the star of the show at Thanksgiving, but the holiday wouldn't be what it is without delicious side dishes. Go beyond basic mashed potatoes and stuffing with these delectable recipes.
Carmelized Vegetables with Dijon Butter
Mustard-spiced butter gives a depth and richness to these carmelized roasted vegetables.
Lettuce, Orange and Pecan Salad
This is an easy make-ahead dish. The lettuce, oranges, shallots, pecans, and vinaigrette can be prepared and refrigerated up to one day in advance. Then just dress and toss the salad before serving.
Cumin and Chile Glazed Collard Green Stems
This is a genius way to use up stems of collard greens or kale. Mustard greens or Swiss chard would work just as well.
Cranberry Maple Jelly
This is an easy make-ahead dish that is as beautiful as it is delicious. The addition of maple syrup adds an extra touch to the classic flavor of cranberry jelly.
Grilled Butternut Squash with Shallot Vinaigrette
Grilling butternut squash gives it a whole new flavor. It becomes crisp and not overly sweet.
Chorizo and Cornbread Dressing
The addition of spicy chorizo adds a flavorful touch to this otherwise classic cornbread dressing recipe.
Stuffing-Stuffed Onions
Try this variation on a classic and fill roasted onions with a chunky stuffing for a memorable dish.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Roasting cauliflower brings out a delicious nutty flavor and gives the soup a gorgeous silky texture. You can prepare this up to two days in advance.
