Thanksgiving Side Dishes
A great Thanksgiving feast isn’t just about the main event – it’s the side dishes that really bring the table to life. From comforting classics to seasonal veg with a twist, these *Thanksgiving sides* are here to round out your menu with colour, texture and plenty of flavour. Whether you’re keeping things traditional or fancy trying something new, there’s a bit of everything in this collection.
For rich, savoury favourites, try Brussels sprouts with chestnuts or pancetta or a bubbling dish of baked mac and cheese. You can’t go wrong with creamed spinach, sweet potato casserole, or ultra-fluffy mashed potatoes. For something a little brighter, there’s rosemary honey butter carrots, green bean casserole, or simple steamed cabbage and carrots. If you’re after a showstopper, the cranberry apple wild rice pilaf makes a lovely contrast to roasted meats. And don’t forget the cranberry sauce, corn casserole, or a hearty stuffing with sausage and apples.
These sides are made to be shared – comforting, colourful, and the perfect partners for your Thanksgiving main.
