Our Top 5 Easy & Delicious Christmas Side Dishes!
Christmas dinner might get all the glory, but let’s be honest, the side dishes are the real reason half of us sprint to the table. This year, skip the complicated recipes and go for these five easy, seasonal favorites. Each boosted with Garlic Goddess's classic seasonings to make the flavors pop without extra effort.
1. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries
A little sweet, a little savory, a lot festive. Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil and a generous shake of Idahoan Seasoning (garlic, onion, sea salt, and jalapeño). Roast until crispy, then finish with dried cranberries and a drizzle of honey. It’s the easiest “fancy” side you'll ever make.
2. Creamy Garlic Goddess Mashed Potatoes
Fluffy, buttery, holiday perfection. Boil your potatoes, mash with butter and cream, and instead of pulling out five spices, stir in Garlic Lovers (garlic, smoke roasted garlic & sea salt. It adds all the richness and depth you want with no extra measuring required. Top with chives for bonus cheer.
3. Green Beans with Toasted Almonds
Crisp, bright, and ready in minutes. Steam or sauté fresh green beans, toss them in a pan with butter or olive oil, then hit them with Citrus Seasoning (smoke roasted garlic, lemon, lime, sea salt & rainbow peppercorns) and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Toasted almonds on top make it taste like you tried way harder than you did.
4. Garlic Honey-Glazed Carrots
Sweet, savory, and perfectly seasonal. Roast carrot coins or whole baby carrots with olive oil, honey, and a hearty sprinkle of Pumpkin Spice Seasoning (garlic, pumpkin, jalapeño, onion, cinnamon, carrots, brown sugar & sea salt). The seasoning caramelizes beautifully and gives the carrots a cozy, holiday-ready depth of flavor.
5. Savory Stuffing Bake
Comfort food meets Christmas magic. Use your favorite boxed or homemade stuffing mix, but give it the upgrade it deserves: sauté your onions and celery in butter, then add a heavy shake of Italian Seasoning (before mixing everything together. Bake until golden and crisp on top. Warning: may overshadow the turkey.
