Side Dish Recipes

Here you'll find over 90 Healthy Side Dish Recipes.ย  Honestly, I could eat a plate of assorted healthy sides for dinner and call it a day. The plant-based options are endless with veggies, grains, legumes, nuts potatoes...and the myriad ways to use them.

Delicious, healthy side dishes like Roasted Broccoli, Mexican Beans,and Healthy Cauliflower Rice Recipesย are staples in our house.ย  Everyone loves them, they're easy to make, and are perfect for healthy meal prep!

I love when there are plenty ofย  vegan and vegetarian side dishes left over to work with.ย  Simple side dishes add texture, color, nutrition, flavor to a salad or bowl.

You'll also find recipes like Vegan Stuffed mushrooms. It's an easy gluten-free side dish for pot-luck since the hostess can also serve it as an appetizer if she's short on those!

Veggies don't have to be boring! There are so many side dish ideas here so you'll be able to choose something that suits your audience.ย  Vegetables can be fun and I'm here to show you how to make simple plant based recipes that everyone will enjoy.
