During the Fall, we deserve nothing less than carbs on carbs on carbs. This grain salad uses some of the season’s freshest produce for a bright and vibrant side dish that’s just as cozy as a bowl of soup.

Nothing beats a bowl of mashed potatoes. But on a hot summer day by the pool, paired with being intolerant to our best friend lactose, it can cause an inconvenient time. This cauliflower mash is the lighter and more nutritious version of your favorite side to burgers and steak! Tahini, garlic, and sumac fill this dish with tangy and nutty flavors- guaranteed to be the life of the party!

Nothing beats a bowl of roasted vegetables during the winter and if you’re like me, roasted vegetables beat popcorn as a movie snack, any day! These root vegetables are roasted with a sweet and salty, umami glaze that helps release and heighten the naturally sweet and earthy flavors of your favorite root veggies. Add some heat, keep it simple- it’s all up to you! Just don’t skip out on the sesame oil that pulls this decadent dish together so effortlessly.

Cauliflower often gets a bad rep for being bland and having an unappealing texture. This perfectly seasoned and roasted cauliflower with a hot tahini-honey sauce (comparable to liquid gold) is the perfect side dish (or appetizer) for small get-togethers. Goat cheese and pomegranate seeds bring creaminess and sweetness to this plant-based dish- perfect for any novice vegetable connoisseur.
