Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Pair these simple sides with an equally easy main—like our Skillet Honey-Garlic Chicken Thighs—and get ready for something truly delicious. Each of these dishes requires just 20 minutes of active prep, so all you have to do is chop and season your veggies, then toss them in the oven to do their thing. Rotate these dishes in and out of your routine for a change of pace that will add a pop of flavor to your weeknight meals. Recipes like our Balsamic Roasted Zucchini with Feta and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes are so tasty, they might just steal the spotlight.

We've got a great way to use up your garden zucchini! Zucchini softens while roasting and soaks up the flavor of balsamic vinegar. The sweet flavors are complemented by salty feta cheese sprinkled on just before serving. It's an easy summer side you'll come back to again and again.

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This healthy side dish recipe couldn't be simpler--or more delicious. Broccoli is roasted until brown and crispy, then topped with Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar for a savory and sweet flavor combination that can't be beaten. Try this quick vegetable dish along with chicken, fish or really any main course. It's also great in salads or warm grain bowls. Tip: Preheating the pan helps the broccoli to brown and develop nutty flavors.

Honeynut squash looks just like mini butternut squash, but on the inside you'll find an even sweeter, deeper orange flesh. This winter squash has only been available at farmers' markets and in select grocery stores for a few years. If you see it, grab a few to try! This simple roasting method enhances the natural flavor of the squash with butter and spices.

Turmeric-Roasted Cauliflower

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Roasting cauliflower transforms it into a crispy, tender vegetable. A sponge for other flavors, cauliflower can absorb any spice mix or marinade you add, like this warm and toasty combination of turmeric, cumin and garlic. Serve as a simple side dish, or stir it into salads or grain bowls to add more plant power.
