Like brown-butter brussels sprouts with gochujang, green bean salad with Parmesan dressing, our best-ever mashed potatoes, and more reasons to rebrand the holiday “Sidesgiving.” Thanksgiving side dishes turn a good holiday dinner into an unforgettable one. Roast turkey may be the centerpiece, but family-favorite sides make the feast feel complete. Classics usually include mashed potatoes, stuffing or dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans and/or brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and a basket of warm rolls or biscuits—but there’s plenty of room on the table for something unexpected.
Use this guide to build a balanced spread with a mix of rich and comforting, fresh and green, and bright and tangy dishes. Start with stalwarts like our ultra-creamy BA’s Best Mashed Potatoes and Easiest Cranberry Sauce, then round things out with newer favorites like sweet-and-spicy mixed squash, zingy green bean salad, or Old Bay cheddar biscuits. Short on time or oven space?
Plenty of these Thanksgiving sides can be made ahead or cooked on the stovetop. Whatever’s missing from your Thanksgiving menu, you’ll find a recipe to fill the gap here. This is one of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes for good reason. Yukon Golds, heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, and plenty of butter make for an exceptionally silky mash.
