10 Healthy Thanksgiving Sides

By Stacey Freeman 19 Comments

healthy thanksgiving sidesFor me, Thanksgiving dinner is really about the sides. The turkey gets all the hype, but I could not care less about the bird (even though my hubby has a magical ability to make it really tasty). I’m a side dish gal all the way. As a kid, I would fill my plate with mashed potatoes (extra butter) and the fresh from the oven, still warm, dinner rolls. Yes, quite the healthy dinner plate.

As an adult, I still favor sides, but now I’m a bit more health conscious than my butter-slathering, carb-loading childhood self. This year, I’m planning to make healthy Thanksgiving sides, so I went on the hunt for options that would please my palette but still be interesting enough to seem special for the holidays. I’m planning to make my cheesy cauliflower cakes, and definitely some sort of sweet potato dish and brussels sprouts too, but I need to round out our sides menu.

Here are 10 delicious-sounding healthy Thanksgiving sides, I’m considering for my menu.

1. Honey Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries and Feta – Peas and Crayons
2. Rosemary and Garlic Mashed Cauliflower – The Cookie Rookie
3. Parmesan Garlic Roasted Mushrooms – My Kitchen Escapades
4. Orange Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash – Heart Beet Kitchen
5. Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Pistachios, Cranberries & Parmesan – Cookin Canuck
6. Honey Maple Roasted Carrots – The Café Sucre Farine
7. Apple Pecan Wild Rice Pilaf – Carlsbad Cravings
8. Roast Balsamic Onions – Tammy Circero
9. Sweet Potato Casserole – Jessica in the Kitchen
10. Baked Zucchini Sticks – Lil Luna

Do you have any favorite healthy Thanksgiving side dish recipes I should try?

    I gave up on searching the recipes, because of pop-ups

      Hi Deborah, I’m not sure what you mean. Each web-link goes to another blog so they might have their own pop-ups. I personally don’t use pop-ups except for my newsletter.

    Some of these reciepes call for some sort of sugar ( honey). Honey 8s full if sugar which is masking the taste of the natural veggies.

Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energ Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energy that you can’t even describe - it’s that powerful. That’s @meaghanbmurphy ⚡️⚡️.

The older I get, the more I realize that the people you surround yourself with matters so much. If your Instagram friends or real life friends aren’t helping you to be the best version of yourself, then you might need new friends.

Meaghan continues to inspire me with her new book “Your Fully Charged Life.” If you’re looking for a fun and smart read to help you take back control of your life on your journey to being your best self, this book is for you! You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️
