Chef John's Roasted Brussels Sprouts
These parboiled and roasted Brussels sprouts make a lovely side dish for your holiday feast. I can't think of a main course, especially one made from some succulent animal, that this wouldn't pair wonderfully with.
Chef John's Cottage Fries
While cottage fries may not get the same love as French fries, home fries, or steak fries, they more than hold their own against other potato side dishes.
How to Make Farinata
Fainè, also called farinata, is nothing more than a simple garbanzo bean flour batter which is spiked with olive oil and salt and baked in a very hot oven. The surface gets crusty and the edges get crispy yet the inside stays moist and sort of creamy. The texture is easy to explain, but the taste, not so much. Very earthy, comforting, and satisfying.
"Special" Roasted Potatoes
This recipe for yellow potatoes turns out delicious and crusty. The secret step is boiling the potatoes in a salted, seasoned liquid. As a result, they absorb flavor and salt and, more importantly, cook on the surface, forming a great, crunchy texture in the oven.
Chef John's Bourbon-Glazed Carrots
These bourbon-glazed, butter-soaked carrots are the greatest special occasion vegetable side dish of all time. Sweet, savory, and oh-so glossy.
Baked "Fried" Rice
This easy oven method for baked "fried" rice produces something very similar to classic fried rice, but you don't need leftover rice to make it. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. If using a different kind of rice or pan size, just adjust the cooking time. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.
Pan-Fried Butter Beans
This pan-fried butter bean recipe is delicious, super-easy, and good for you too.
Classic Rice Pilaf
Try this baked rice pilaf for a perfect batch of white rice made without a rice cooker. Once you see how incredibly delicious and foolproof this method is, you'll never cook rice on the stovetop again.
Broccoli Garlic Angel Hair Pasta
This pasta with broccoli and garlic makes a beautiful side dish or vegetarian main course. If you've got to eat your broccoli, this is a great way to do it! Garnish each serving with a dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano and more red pepper flakes if desired.
Braised Black Lentils
This black lentil recipe is one of my favorite side dishes. Black lentils are also known as beluga lentils since they resemble beluga caviar, the most prized of all caviar varieties.
Kartoffelklöße (German Potato Dumplings)
These German potato dumplings are the latest import to my potato-side dish collection. They're drizzled in browned butter and topped with crunchy croutons, but they're also good topped with bacon, sautéed onions, and mushroom sauce. If you have time, roast the potatoes (instead of boiling them) so they're nice and dry. I like to serve them with sausage and red cabbage.
Chef John's Braised Red Cabbage
Braised red cabbage is a very beautiful, super easy cabbage side dish. All ingredients in this recipe are totally to taste. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy, with a tiny hint of caraway to interest you.
