    8 Of Our Best Holiday Side Dishes

    Published: Dec 15, 2024 · Modified: Jan 29, 2025 by Chris · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    In our home the best part of the holiday season is the food! The main course is always the star of the show; however, the side dishes should not be overlooked. They are an easy way to liven up your holiday menu.  Some of our favorite classic holiday side dishes are creamy mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and roasted root vegetables. Holiday cooking can be a little bit daunting, so we put together a collection of recipes sure to be a welcome addition to your holiday spread! Vegetable dishes are a great way to move away from the traditional carb-heavy side dishes and still satisfy your holiday dinner guests!

    Regardless of whether you are planning to make, roast beef, holiday ham, or even a vegetarian holiday meal these classic dishes will be a great addition to your holiday table.

    We have included in this collection our take on the classic green bean casserole, fresh green beans and our creamy asiago mushroom soup are the perfect balance for this classic recipe. The creamy textures in our creamy cheesy mashed potatoes are hard to beat and the rich flavor that golden brown parmesan cheese adds to simple roasted carrots makes this easy dish a showstopper. A little bit of honey and, red pepper flakes give a little kick to our crispy baked cauliflower bites. Au gratin style zucchini bake with white cheddar cheese will be just as important on your holiday table as the main dish and potato recipes are always great options for your holiday menu

    So, with no further ado I give you this collection of our delicious side dish recipes and we hope it helps you in planning your next holiday meal.
