6 Last-Minute Thanksgiving Side Dishes
If you're racking your brain trying to come up with a recipe for your Thankgiving feast using ingredients you have on hand (or in your Boston Organics delivery), look no further.
Here are 6 last-minute Thanksgiving side dishes to guide you.
1. Pumpkin Butter
Not so much a side dish as a condiment, this velvety butter will complement your dinner rolls or fresh-baked bread perfectly. Use a sweet pie pumpkin, like the ones we have from Harlow Farm of Westminster, Vermont.
2. Pizza Dough Garlic Butter Rolls
This recipe can be baked up in minutes with any thawed pizza dough, fresh garlic, olive oil, butter and parsley. Bonus: you get to fill your home with the smell of fresh-baked bread!
3. Hasselback Potatoes
These pretty potatoes aren't quite as ubiquitous as their mashed counterparts during the holidays, but they are equally as delicious and arguably easier to put together in a pinch.
4. Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
All of the flavors of fall come together in one satisfying side, and the best part is this recipe contains only five ingredients. Alternately, you can swap out the dairy milk for fresh almond milk to veganize the dish.
5. Deviled Eggs, Four Ways
Appetizers are almost as important as the main meal in many Thanksgiving celebrations. You don't have to make all four variations in this recipe, though, pick one or two and knock 'em out of the park.
6. Oven Roasted Carrots and Kale
Surprise your friends and family with a twist on traditional roasted or boiled carrots. The kale adds a crisp texture and visual variety to this healthy dish.
Looks like you've got some cooking to do! Enjoy your box and have a delicious holiday week.
