While you’re finalizing your Thanksgiving menu, you may be looking for inspiration to spruce up your old-fashioned veggie dishes. Lucky for us, Ina Garten is sharing her favorite side recipes for you to easily add to your holiday table.

“This week, I'll be sharing three recipes for each classic Thanksgiving side,” Garten writes in a recent Instagram post. So far, the Barefoot Contessa has shared recipe ideas for sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Here are the six recipes Garten has posted about so far—other classic collections like her bread pudding recipes are coming soon! 

Ina Garten’s Top 3 Sweet Potato Recipes for Thanksgiving

“Whether you like sweet potatoes sautéed with balsamic vinegar, pureed with chipotle peppers and maple syrup or stuffed with Taleggio and thyme, we've got you covered,” Garten says. Fans of the starchy veggie are going to love these dishes. These are Garten’s picks to consider adding to your turkey platter.

Glazed Sweet Potatoes

You really can’t go wrong with Glazed Sweet Potatoes, and Garten’s are hard to beat. With this recipe, originally from her Go-To Dinners cookbook, you only need four ingredients—alongside salt, pepper and oil—to whip up this simple side.

If you’re looking for added flavor, we have very similar versions for you to try. Try these highly rated Soy-Glazed Sweet Potatoes or Oven-Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Tamarind Glaze.

Chipotle Smashed Sweet Potatoes

These Chipotle Smashed Sweet Potatoes bring a spicy and sweet twist to your usual mashed potatoes. If you like heat, you definitely need to include this recipe on your table. But if you’re not ready to include the spicy flavor of chipotle chiles in your holiday meal, our recipe for The Best Mashed Sweet Potatoes is called “the best” for a reason.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

If you have always wanted to try twice-baked potatoes, this is your sign to make Garten’s Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes ASAP. These sweet potatoes are cheesy, herby and their texture is incomparable to your standard baked potato. You can also use russet potatoes if you already have your sweet potato side on lock.

Ina Garten’s Top 3 Brussels Sprouts Recipes for Thanksgiving

“My mom always used to boil Brussels sprouts, and they were just dreadful—sorry, Mom!” Garten jokes. “Roasted or sautéed is so much more flavorful.” These are Garten’s favorite ways to include Brussels sprouts with her holiday dinner.

Sautéed Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Out of the three recipes in this Brussels sprouts collection, Garten states these five-ingredient Sautéed Shredded Brussels Sprouts are on the top of her list.

“My favorite is the shredded ones because it takes 10 seconds to slice them in a food processor instead of cutting them by hand,” she explains. We love that this recipe is so simple, and you can even take it up a notch by adding bacon and onions to your shredded veggies. Yum!

Brussels Sprouts Lardons

These Brussels Sprouts Lardons take less than 30 minutes to prepare, so they’re easy options if you’re looking for a quicker recipe. Plus, they already include the salty-sweet combination of bacon and golden raisins that will have your family asking for seconds. 

Balsamic-Roasted Brussels Sprouts 

We’re big fans of balsamic when it comes to roasted veggies, so these Balsamic-Roasted Brussels Sprouts get the EatingWell stamp of approval. Besides salt, pepper and oil, you just need three ingredients to enjoy Garten’s balsamic Brussels sprouts. This leaves room to add some sweetness like maple syrup or honey to amp up the recipe.

We have a feeling that Garten would love to combine these two veggies, and these Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potatoes makes it easy to do so. You only need 10 minutes of active time and simple ingredients for this side. Whatever you decide to make, there’s no wrong choice with these tasty veggie sides.
