The Sides Might Steal the Show
Published 17 days ago • 3 min read
Hi Reader!
I know Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but I'm already thinking about the side dishes! They're honestly the part of the meal I look forward to most, and I like having a mix of traditional recipes and a few that bring something different to the table. These recipes will give you a few ideas to save before the holiday cooking starts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Two whole heads of garlic go into these potatoes, so this is not a subtle situation 😂. One gets roasted, the other flavors the cream, and the potato skins can stay right on.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanksgiving Stuffing
If you go straight for the crispy corners, this one’s for you! Sourdough, fresh herbs, and sautéed vegetables bake together with a crisp top and a soft middle. No turkey required.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Green Beans with Almonds
When the oven is full, give the stovetop a job! These green beans take just 15 minutes, with toasted almonds, shallots, and a squeeze of lemon to brighten up the holiday plate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oven Roasted Carrots
No glaze to stir, no long ingredient list. A hot oven brings out the sweetness in these carrots and gives the edges a little color. Ten minutes of prep, then let them roast!

Yumna's Favorite
Hint: These get two trips to the oven and a pecan-oat topping that makes the second trip very worth it. They’re sweet, spiced, and served in their own little boats. Any guesses? 👀

Holiday Prep Tips
Plan the oven: Check cooking temperatures and bake times before the day starts so you know which dishes need their own turn.
Prep in pieces: Chop stuffing vegetables the day before, and roast the garlic for the potatoes ahead of time.
Pick the serving dishes: Set out the bowls, baking dishes, and serving spoons early so you’re not hunting for them with dinner ready.
