Frequently asked questions
What's a good side dish for a weeknight dinner?
Roasted vegetables, rice pilaf, or a simple salad. Use the time filter above to show sides under 30 minutes.
How do I keep roasted vegetables from getting soggy?
Dry the vegetables thoroughly, toss with oil, and roast at a high temperature (425°F) on a preheated sheet pan. Don't crowd the pan.
Can I make side dishes ahead of time?
Yes. Casseroles and gratins can be assembled ahead and baked before serving. Roasted vegetables are best roasted the day of, but can be reheated.
