Thanksgiving Side Hustle

Advertisements

Side dishes are the best part of Thanksgiving. This isn’t an issue of turkey vs Tofurky, it’s just a solid fact that the real MVPs are found on the sidelines for this holiday. Give me a plate piled high with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and at least two or three other dishes that I had absolutely no intention of taking until I saw them from across the table. It’s that abundance to the point of excess that defines a happy Thanksgiving.

When you’re making your annual autumnal feast, the sides shouldn’t feel like supporting actor because really, they’re the main event. The riot of colors and textures is a seasonal showcase, shining a spotlight on all the best the harvest has to offer. If it happens to be lavished in a bit more vegan butter and brown sugar than usual, so be it.

Whether you’re hosting, bringing a dish to the table, or just looking for a few new ways to fill out the holiday spread, these are the recipes you’ll want to have in your back pocket. Some are classics that belong on the table year after year, while others put a welcome twist on tradition. Together, they make a Thanksgiving menu that has something for everyone, and gives you plenty of reasons to go back for seconds.
