My Favorite Thanksgiving Sides

Delicious, nourishing side dishes to serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey or to create a meal of on their own.

I'll be honest: I'm not a huge fan of traditional Thanksgiving food. But I do love gathering those I care about around a table of the most delicious foods anytime of year. When I plan my Thanksgiving menu, I try to add as much variety and color as possible, whether through hearty salads, starchy sides, or festive desserts. Find a few of my favorite recipes below to help inspire your menu—I hope you have a flavorful, nourishing feast!
