When Thanksgiving rolls around, many people focus on the plump, juicy turkey that sits at the head of the table waiting to be carved into. The turkey is nice and all, but side dishes are really what amp up your meal and round it out for a nice fulfilling Thanksgiving dinner.
When else do you get to enjoy that green bean casserole, or your grandma’s homemade mac and cheese? Maybe in your house, it’s scratch-made biscuits or mashed potatoes and gravy. Whatever your table looks like, it’s bound to be scrumptious!
Side dishes are also a great way to incorporate all those delicious and nutrient-filled veggies that are filling up your local supermarkets. A plant-based side dish is a perfect way to balance out your main entrée and keep your Thanksgiving table fresh, vibrant, and nutritious. (It also helps sneak more veggies into your kids’ meals!)
A mix of vegetarian side dishes can also serve as a main course for your family or friends who may choose the meatless options.
