Description

Discover 5 irresistible crowd-pleasing side dishes perfect for your Thanksgiving table. These recipes are simple to make and guaranteed to impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (from about 5 large russet potatoes)
  • 2 cups cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 cups stuffing (homemade or box mix)
  • 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare mashed potatoes: Peel and cube russet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain, mash with warmed milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast Brussels sprouts: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss trimmed and halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and crispy, tossing halfway.
  3. Make cranberry sauce: Combine fresh cranberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan (1:1 ratio). Simmer over medium heat until berries pop and sauce thickens (about 10 minutes). Let cool.
  4. Bake sweet potato casserole: Boil cubed sweet potatoes until tender (about 15 minutes). Mash with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Spread in a baking dish, top with mini marshmallows, and bake at 350°F until golden brown (about 20 minutes). Broil for the last minute for extra toastiness.
  5. Cook stuffing: Prepare your favorite stuffing recipe. Mix with sautéed vegetables and broth. Bake covered at 350°F for 30 minutes, then uncover for the last 10 minutes to crisp the top. If using boxed stuffing, follow package directions.
