Sides for the Main Event
Roasted Root Vegetables This one comes from our vault of Thanksgiving recipes, but it never goes out of style. Roasted root vegetables are one of the easiest – and tastiest – side dishes you can make. Any root vegetables will work. Just toss them with some olive oil and a few spices, and throw it in the oven. They practically cook themselves! Get the Recipe Savory Stuffing This is a Thanksgiving day standard. So, having a good stuffing is almost as important as having a good turkey. This recipe is pretty easy to put together, and takes about an hour. Make it the night before if you think you won’t have enough time the day of. Just remember to add water or broth when reheating to keep it from drying out. Get the Recipe
