Sides

Here are dozens of vegetarian side dishes to accompany any meal. Warm or cold, and mostly make-ahead, these make any meal more exciting.

If you love adding dips and spreads alongside dishes, try Lebanese Hummus and Baba Ghanoush, Sweet Potato Red Lentil Dip, or easy garlicky Avocado Aioli.

If bread or other comfort food is more your thing, make Coconut Oil Biscuits, Zucchini Cornbread Muffins, or surprisingly easy Vegan Spelt Naan - all made with spelt flour.

If you want something with more vegetables, go for a delicious roasted vegetable Pumpkin Salad, Winter Salad with Beets, Orange, and Pomegranate, or a warm weather Summer Strawberry Salad.

No matter what kind of sides you like most, you’ll find great nutritious options here.
