This Stovetop Green Beans with Almonds recipe is a quick and easy side dish that goes with just about everything! I usually make this several times a week, my family loves it.

Stovetop Green Beans with Almonds

light butter spread (I use Land O’Lakes light butter spread with canola oil)

oz fresh washed and trimmed green beans

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

garlic

almonds

Add the butter to a large saute pan and melt over medium-low heat. When melted, add the green beans and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat in the butter. Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, uncovering briefly to stir once in the middle. Beans should be bright green and a bit more tender.

Uncover and add the minced garlic and sliced almonds. Stir together and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the almonds are golden and the green beans are bright green and tender while still being a bit firm.

Here are our favorite holiday side dishes- vegan side dishes, vegetarian side dishes, fall salads and beautiful baked goods for the holiday table. Cranberry Sauce:

Thanksgiving Side Dishes: Cranberry Sauce 

cranberries, washed

maple syrup

apple,

salt

In a pot, cook cranberries, maple syrup and a pinch of salt over medium heat, until lightly simmering and cranberries begin to pop, about 8 minutes.  It is okay if cranberries are in different stages of breaking down.  Some will be popped, some will still be whole.

Remove cranberries from heat.  Add diced apples, orange zest and chopped orange.  Mix to combine.  It will thicken as it cools.

Refrigerate until serving.  This will keep 3 days in the fridge.

It looks so yummy ! I would like to try these receipes .

I'm in Australia and don't do thanksgiving but would start just to have a reason to make these recipes. This has to be some of the best healthy food I've seen. Just love receiving your emails with such beautifully presented food. Thank you Sylvia.

Hi Sylvia,
I just want to let you know that I love your plant based recipes...well the ones that I have chosen to make have been an incredible tasty treat. I am going to try some of these side dishes this Thanksgiving. Can't wait.

 I am so glad to find you and keep doing what you are doing. You are truly a find. Thank you! Denise

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash, a simple fall side dish with 3 ingredients; butternut squash, pure maple syrup, and oil, plus salt and pepper!

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash

butternut squash (peeled and diced 3/4-inch)

olive oil or coconut oil

tbsp maple syrup

kosher salt and black pepper

Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata), known in Australia and New Zealand as butternut pumpkin or gramma, is a type of winter squash that grows on a vine. It has a sweet, nutty taste similar to that of a pumpkin. It has tan-yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp with a compartment of seeds in the bottom. When...

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with oil, maple, salt and fresh ground pepper. Place in a baking dish, cover with foil and roast in the center of the oven for 25 minutes.

Remove foil, turn the squash and bake an addition 15 minutes, or until fork tender (time will vary depending on the size you cut the squash).

This was delicious!  I added carrots since they are sweet, too, and it was amazing!  Thx for the recipe!

Loved the taste of this because anything with maple syrup is great. The microwave peeling method didn't work that well on my small butternut squash. I did 2 minutes and the neck part was already cooking as was the outer layer but the peel was no easier to get off. It's one reason I avoid acorn squash. Other than that, simple and very good.

Covering the squash with foil will keep it from getting a nice golden caramelized crust as will putting it in a dish rather than a cookie sheet. 

Hey Gina, when I click on the personal points button, it brings up Crock Pot Maple Dijon Drumsticks. 

Love the recipe and make it all the time with sweet potatoes also.

Making this for the third time...new family favorite!

Yummy! We're making it again for Thanksgiving.

Wow! Just made this for dinner... and for the last 15 min that is was to be cooked unfoiled, I put a piece of seasoned salmon filet in the pan and voila, 1 pan dinner served! I did replace the syrup w Manuka honey, delish!

This recipe is great despite my having to use ingredients on hand.  I had butternut squash from our garden in the freezer.  Also, my husband is a beekeeper and we always use that in place of maple syrup.

I found that the squash got really soft as it was roasting, so next time I will wait until our garden is giving us squash.  Fortunately, I will simply mash the leftovers and enjoy them.

Initially I thought, "What a disaster."  Then I remembered that, "In the kitchen there are no disasters, only discoveries".

I've been wanting to up my veggie game, and this sounded easy and delicious. I haven't had much experience with butternut squash, but I've enjoyed what I've had. So I figured I've give this a shot since some pre-cut squash was on sale. I mixed everything together in the baking dish itself to cut down on mess. The combination of salt and pepper with maple syrup concerned me, but I trusted you! And it turned out great! Everything worked together to make something almost like dessert. This encourages me to keep trying the squash for sure. Thank you!

Perfect Sautéed comes together in just 15 minutes and will become your go-to side. Never dried out, perfectly tender, and lightly charred, this broccoli will entice even the pickiest vegetable eaters.

Perfect Sautéed Broccoli

broccoli ((about 1 lb.))

Tbsp. olive oil

tsp. black pepper

garlic powder

lemon juice

Cut head of broccoli into bite-sized florets (you should end up with around 6 cups). If using, slice stalk into 1/2-inch pieces, or save for another use. (Note: the stalk won&#39;t become as tender as the florets, however it&#39;s a great source of prebiotic fiber!)

Heat oil in a large skillet with a fitted lid over medium-high. Once oil is shimmering, add broccoli and cook, uncovered, 1 minute.

Cover and continue cooking, lifting lid to stir every 1 to 2 minutes to prevent burning, until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 7 to 8 minutes total. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and spritz with fresh lemon juice.

Made this with the stems included. Absolutely delicious. I have a feeling this'll be my go-to broccoli recipe!

Wonderful!  Thank you!  The little squeeze of lemon and a bit of parm really were a nice finishing touch on this!

This is was so good! And easy! Picky hubby also loved it! Thank you! Any other vegetables that this method might work well for ?

An incredible recipe authored by a talented woman. Jamie, this is definitely a staple recipe. I couldn’t stop raving about it. Also, it’s Braelyn approved so that’s always a winning combo in my book. Thanks, love!

The BEST broccoli recipe ever😁👍🏻

I’ve been known in the family for my excellent oven roasted veggies for many, many years. I am now a convert, this is superior to oven roast, and quicker, I LOVE this way to cook broccoli and have passed the recipe to many. Thank you Jamie!
