One of the best parts about Thanksgiving is gathering around the table with your family and friends—but so is the food. Something about all those traditional dishes just hits different, especially the Thanksgiving sides: mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted vegetables. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The only downside is that all this food often takes a long time to prepare, particularly if you’re a procrastinator like me and wait until the day before to decide what you’re bringing to the feast. You don’t want to bring something store-bought; Thanksgiving deserves a little more effort than that. Don’t worry—we’ve got your contribution covered. We’ve curated a list of Thanksgiving sides that don’t involve too much time in the kitchen but are yummy enough to impress any guest.
