Vegetable Side Dishes

Hearty, robust and flavorful vegetable side dishes are the best side dishes to serve on the weeknights, over the weekend for a crowd and throughout the holiday season.

The classic preparation for veggie side dishes, roasting, really shines in these Roasted Whole Carrots with a Mediterranean twist or Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes served with quinoa, which just so happens to be vegan and gluten-free.

My spiralizer comes in handy whenever I want to make Zucchini Pasta or this Butternut Squash Noodles Recipe. Both are a wonderful, low-carb option for those nights I’m craving pasta.

When it’s not Thanksgiving or Christmas, and summer is in full bloom, I love to make Mexican Quinoa or Mexican Street Corn. These simple vegetable side dishes can be paired with any chicken, beef, turkey, or seafood recipes. But in all honesty, I think they offer that special touch of elegance all on their own.
