Yes the turkey and the stuffing steal the show, but we all need to man up and put some vegetables on our plate for Thanksgiving dinner. Make the greens stand out by serving them in beautiful bowls like these Copper and Brass Louise Bowls.
Here are nine recipes that will have you excited to put some green on your plate and save a few calories for dessert!
1. GREEN BEANS
Don’t ever boil green beans again! Roasted green beans are far more flavorful and can develop an appealing crunchy texture. This recipe includes Parmesan and a few minutes of broiling at the end to make the beans extra crispy.

5. KALE, you sneaky devil
Kale is always showing up on farm-to-table menus—in fact, it’s hard to find a restaurant that doesn’t serve kale at this point. But this Obama family favorite is worth trying; if it’s good enough for Thanksgiving at the White House, it’s probably going to impress Aunt Millie.
Bonus: Kale AND Brussels Sprouts! A great way to get two vegetables into one side dish, this kale and Brussels sprouts salad has crunchy almonds and a tangy dressing.

6. SPINACH
With a cup of cream and a cup of Parmesan, this Ina Garten spinach dish hardly counts as a vegetable. But it does contain three packages of frozen spinach and is absolutely delicious. It’s a frequently requested Thanksgiving favorite, and if you make it once a year you don’t need to feel guilty.

7. ROMANESCO
This may be the most beautiful vegetable I’ve ever seen. In fact, unless you’d told me it was edible, I probably wouldn’t have even tried. A member of the cauliflower family, romanesco is delicious and I haven’t met anyone who wasn’t fascinated by its geometrical appearance.

8. BROCCOLI
Add some heat to your Thanksgiving plate with roasted broccoli with garlic and chile. This is so simple it barely counts as a recipe and it goes great alongside turkey and stuffing.
