We bring extra umami (a savoriness) to a traditional green bean casserole with the addition of dried shiitake mushrooms. Once rehydrated, they turn soft and earthy, and their soaking liquid adds oomph to the sauce as well. Our fried onion topping is made from scratch – first, a dip in buttermilk, then fried to crunchy perfection.

This veggie-forward pasta salad has everything you would expect in a Thanksgiving meal, except the turkey! We took tender rotini and added plenty of seasonal roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and kale. Sweet-tart cranberries and crunchy pistachios are laced throughout for texture and brightness, then it’s tossed with a nutty tahini dressing with fresh sage, thyme and a hint of maple syrup. The result is a vegetarian dish that’s bound to please everyone at the table, and one that can be vegan if you ensure your Dijon and pasta are vegan-friendly.

For people who love carbs but don't love soggy stuffing, may we introduce a new favorite combination: Thanksgiving stuffing focaccia. The bread is slightly custardy on the inside from the moisture from the vegetables while still maintaining a biscuity crust like a Chicago deep-dish pizza. Topped with crisp sausage and packed with fresh sage and parsley, it's poised to become a new holiday staple.

Everyone has a favorite Thanksgiving side, but is it really the holiday without stuffing? All the best elements get mixed together in this fresh, crunchy salad: gently toasted baguette cubes, thinly sliced celery, leeks, carrots, plus plenty of herbs and pickled red onions. The best part is the dressing, an easy vinaigrette spiked with vegetable bouillon for all the comforting flavor you crave. It’s a perfect excuse to lighten the load this holiday or drag every foodie’s favorite day into any season!

This impressive autumn-inspired dish can be served as a main course for vegan and vegetarian eaters or can be enjoyed by everyone at the table as a side dish. The small amount of curry powder gives the squash a nice warmth and depth.

We used nutritional yeast-which is grown on molasses and then dried out- to add a nutty cheesiness (plus an extra helping of vitamin B12) to these bubbly spuds. Silken tofu and tender new potatoes add creaminess without dairy and browned onions give the dish a deep savoriness.

Creamed kale meets Caesar salad in this beautiful gratin. It even has a panko topping and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan for a crispy crust to complement the creamy greens. Serve alongside your favorite main for a beautiful and flavorful side dish.

This Thanksgiving side dish couldn't be easier. Part cornbread, part corn pudding, it's moist and decadent. Perfect for when you're hosting, but also travels well for when you're bringing a dish as a guest.

Persimmons are the perfect newcomer to the Thanksgiving table. Their subtle sweetness melds beautifully with the sharpness from the pickled shallots and creaminess of the cheese in this pretty fall-inspired salad. There are two major types of persimmon sold in the States: Fuyu, which are shaped like tomatoes and best eaten raw, and Hachiya, which have a more tapered shape and are better for baking. (We call for the Fuyu variety here.) If you can't find persimmons, dried apricots plumped in orange juice will stand in nicely.
