When it comes to baked squash, what you see is what you get: naturally beautiful, naturally delicious. Just a smear of butter and a sprinkle of thyme gussy up the already-golden dish.
Cranberry relish is Thanksgiving's total "it" girl. She's sweet on the outside, sassy on the inside. We blend ours with dried cherries and wine for a gorgeous (yet suprisingly low-maintenance!) side dish.
Hot and (lemon) buttered, everyone's got eyes for these herb-baked buns. Our advice: Don't expect anything long-term. These fast-to-go buns are just looking for a holiday fling. (They'll roll around again come Christmas.)
No time for tears. They'll be back for a Christmastime fling.

Let's be honest -- everyone likes a good cuddle. Cozy up to a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup this Thanksgiving. The reminds-you-of-home dish is made with all your favorite fixings: thick noodles, tender veggies, and heartwarming spices.
Swoon! It's love at first sight with these blushing roasted radishes. Though their rustic hues draw you in, it's their sweet tanginess that hooks you long-term.
Comforting, consistent, and sometimes cheesy, mashed potatoes are the ultimate side-dish soul mate. Butter them up or eat them plain -- either way, you'll never let them go.
Sometimes basic is best. Go with classic bread stuffing for a dish even Grandma will approve of. This one's made the old-fashioned way with fresh chopped veggies and a can of chicken broth.
You can't forget your first love. Playful noodles and a bubbly attitude keep you coming back for more of this four-cheese macaroni bake. Bread crumbs give the long-time side a grown-up, gourmet spin.
Mashed potatoes too plain-Jane for your liking? Step it up this Thanksgiving with candied sweet potatoes. These stunning sides get all dressed up in brown sugar, chopped nuts, and ooey-gooey marshmallows.
Calling all non-commitals -- this lighthearted, low-calorie Caesar salad is your side-dish soul mate. Not only is it a quick time commitment, but it's served with delish Parm croutons and a side of Italian intrigue.
For a well-traveled side, talk up our dukkah-dusted carrots. They're squeezed with lip-puckering lemon then coated in global spices, such as cumin, sesame, and coriander.
Need a side dish that can keep up with you? Say hello to potato-apple gratin -- a good-looking dish that's packed with the perfect amount of pizzazz. Crisp-cooked bacon makes it even more enticing.
Forget the haters -- flowerlike Brussels sprouts make a delicious side-dish soul mate. They're a tender, welcome change and super good for you (literally).
A love for partying makes this fun green bean casserole a Thanksgiving no-brainer. Stringy onion rings top them off, while a lush blend of cheesy pancetta and button mushrooms create their can't-resist base.
Whether you're scooping up a side of green bean casserole or munching on a crisp green bean salad, green beans add classic flavor, color, and nutrients to your meal. Change up your usual green bean routine with some of our fresh green bean recipes -- you won't be disappointed!
