Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes:
This Low-Carb Stuffing (with Sausage and Pecans) uses my favorite purchased low-carb bread and has about 8.6 net carbs per serving. See tips in the recipe for a version that’s even lower in carbs. And this is the only recipe here that’s not gluten-free, but I recommend Wild Rice Stuffing with Sausage and Mushrooms if you need a gluten-free option for stuffing!
Roasted Broccoli with Lemon and Pecorino-Romano Cheese is perfect for Thanksgiving; you put the lemony broccoli into a hot oven when you take out the turkey and 15 minutes later you top with cheese and serve!
Brussels Sprouts with Avocados and Pecans is absolutely a wow for a special side dish!
This recipe for Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic, and Parmesan has been pinned millions of times, and this might be my most popular Thanksgiving recipe.
This fun combination of Asparagus and Mushrooms (with Everything Bagel Seasoning) will be good if you don’t mind splurging on asparagus when it’s not quite in season!
For people (like me) who like the flavor of turnips, this Turnip Gratin with Bacon is amazing for a low-carb side dish that’s creamy and cheesy!
People who like cauliflower and want to avoid carbs will love this Pureed Cauliflower with Garlic, Parmesan, and Goat Cheese for a holiday side dish. I love this mashed cauliflower flavored with goat cheese!
This tasty dish of Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts has 9 net carbs per serving, but if you want to make it lower in carbs just use more Brussels Sprouts and fewer sweet potatoes!
Green Beans with Lemon, Parmesan, and Pine Nuts are completely amazing, and this is a special side dish that doesn’t need the oven!
I couldn’t imagine Thanksgiving without this Broccoli Gratin. I’ve been making this one for years!
