Hosting Thanksgiving and have a vegetarian coming to dinner? No worries: Here’s a festive, delicious entree your veggie eater will love.
Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Garlic, Citrus, and Sage
Roasted root vegetables are an ideal winter side dish, and when they become brown and caramelized, they have a sweetness that can satisfy your sugar cravings. Usually, it’s plenty to toss them with just olive oil, salt, and pepper, but when you want a bit more, this is your dish. The citrus adds brightness, the sage adds softness, and when are whole roasted garlic cloves not a good thing?
Sautéed Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Almonds
Brussels sprouts can be a bit bitter—I think that’s why some people don’t like them. But here, any bitterness is countered with lemon juice, fresh dill, and toasted almonds. The result is a really good, completely health-conscious vegetable dish. Even if you haven’t liked Brussels sprouts before, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
