The Best Time-Saving Tips for Holiday Side Dishes!
- Choose pre-washed and pre-cut veggies.
Although they cost a little more, pre-cut veggies in the produce section can save SO much time!
- Use fresh herbs.
While dried herbs and spices are truly SO easy, fresh ones take just an extra minute or two to chop and the flavour pay-off is amazing (and definitely worth it!).
- Keep the flavours simple.
Choose basic flavours you have on hand and let the flavours of the vegetables shine!
- Prep ahead of time.
If you can, make the side dish ahead of time, cover it, and store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake and serve!
