10 Vegan and Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Sides

Sweet Potato, Apple, and Prune Bake

This a traditional Tzimmis when baked melts together for a chunky delicious mix of fall flavors.

The photo is before it was baked. It becomes creamy and delicious when baked.

Baked Apple, Yam, and Dried Apricot Casserole

A healthier choice for yam casserole with apricots and apples adding to the sweetness for a wonderful yam bake.

Before Baking

Chunky Cranberry Apple Chutney

The perfectly healthy cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving using fresh cranberries with sweet apples spiced with interesting flavors.

Thanksgiving Shredded Carrot, Cranberry, and Cashew Salad

One of my favorite salads. It's sweet and crunchy and perfect for Thanksgiving since it is best to make it the night before to give the incredible flavors a chance to mingle and the carrots a chance to relax.

 Dairy-free Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Gravy

Enjoy this rich vegan gravy over dairy free mashed potatoes. A real comfort food without the heavy fats and calories.

Roasted Asparagus and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

A simple but delicious combination of two complementary vegetables. 

Roasted Vegetable Platter Tray 

Roasted vegetables are perfect for Thanksgiving because they can be served hot or at room temperature so they can be made in advance. It's all in the presentation. Make a variety of vegetables in advance and arrange on a platter. 

Asian Quinoa Slaw Salad 

A wonderful quinoa side that is both flavorful and delicious. Your guests will keep coming back for more. 

Green Bean Casserole

A healthier alternative to the more traditional high fat green bean casserole in a mushroom cream sauce.

Crunchy and Creamy Roasted Brussels Sprouts 

Roasting is the tastiest way to cook Brussels sprouts. They are crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Even Brussels sprouts haters are swayed by this recipe.

I have both of these appliances and love them both. They are both on sale on Amazon just click on the photo.

Stuffed Peppers - Vegan and Gluten Free

Stuffed peppers are impressive to serve, easy to make, and taste divine. Looking to eat less meat?  This vegan recipe will make a filling side dish ( Thanksgiving??) or you can turn it into a meal by adding the optional walnuts and or chickpeas. All of the ingredients that I use are naturally gluten-free too.
