Thanksgiving dinner is hard enough without having complicated sides to make too. Easy side dishes for Thanksgiving are key to making the dinner way less stressful.
These are all vegetarian, and can either be made ahead or only need 15 minutes (or less!) of prep. And they're all big on flavor!

This roundup of easy side dishes for Thanksgiving consists of 6 of my favorites that I make over and over. They include a carrots recipe that was published on Food Network when I did some work with them a few years ago. And don't miss my Boozy Cranberry Sauce that was published in Parade Magazine!
There's no fancy ingredients, and take little prep time. Or, if they take a little more trouble, they can be completely made ahead of time, and simply warmed up in time for your big feast!
