I’ve still been on a vegetable side dish kick well into February. It could be that I’m inspired by the beautiful produce I have been getting from Imperfect Produce (definitely true), or that I’ve just been craving heaps and heaps of vegetables (also true). These Moroccan Glazed Carrots are so easy to make and will add a fun zing to whatever meal you are preparing.
We have been so spoiled this year with a warm(ish) and dry(ish) winter here in Portland. While it’s still been a little chilly, it’s been hard for me to not just kick start into spring already! Yet it is only mid-February and there is still plenty of winter dishes and fresh produce to enjoy before we move on to the next season. So I took some beautiful delicata squash and brussels sprouts and made these Gochujang Roasted Winter Vegetables this last weekend. And holy cow, let me tell you, they are some of the most addicting vegetables I have ever made!
Continuing on with this mini-series of great vegetable side dishes, I bring you the humble potato. I love how versatile potatoes are and how they marry so well with so many different flavor combinations. Not everything needs to be complicated, and these garlic dill roasted potatoes are easy to make, and addicting to eat!
I’m working on highlighting some delicious side dishes this month because I feel like they are often overlooked and under-appreciated. I whipped up this refreshing orange pistachio salad over the weekend and honestly could have eaten many servings of it. It is light and really highlights the powerful flavor of winter oranges.
I don’t know about you but I have been really enjoying a lot of squash this fall, and plan to continue throughout winter. There are so many varieties can be be used in such different ways, but acorn squash may be one of my favorites right now. It is so buttery and sweet and pairs really well with savory flavors. This Sausage Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash makes for a perfect weeknight meal and is really simple to make.
