Our oven-baked zucchini sticks taste every bit as good as their deep-fried brethren with only a fraction of the fat and calories. Serve with a side of your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
Couscous, which is actually a type of tiny pasta, makes an almost-instant side dish. Happily, the whole-wheat variety is just as fast to prepare as regular couscous. Lemon zest is a delicious accent to nutty Parmesan in this Italian-inspired couscous.
The toasted smoky flavors in this fast saute make it a warm addition to any winter meal.
Peppers, cumin and chili powder are a natural combination with corn and hominy (dried corn that's had its hull removed).
We like to use heirloom tomatoes in this simple salad. They're at their peak during the summer months and worth seeking out at your local grocery store or farmers' market. Which varieties you choose is up to you—any will work well here.
Toss a colorful mix of grilled bell peppers with briny olives, sweet sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette for a lovely side dish. Or spread crostini with goat cheese and top it with this salad for an easy summer appetizer.
» Grilled Pepper Salad [10]
A touch of curry-infused butter dresses sauteed asparagus. This quick and delicious side dish would be just as welcome with a grilled cheese sandwich as it would with broiled salmon.
Get inspired by sinking your teeth into snappier peas, crunchier carrots and better-tasting grains, pasta and potatoes with EatingWell’s 40 quick and delicious side dishes. These quick and healthy side dishes make the perfect addition to any meal thanks to generous helpings of nutritious ingredients. Best of all, they're ready in 30 minutes or less.
