Endive Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
Thanksgiving's hearty main dishes call for something fresh, green and just a little tangy on the side, to cut through all that richness. A perfect option is this salad from the CHO team, which pairs winter greens endive and radicchio with a light yet flavorful vinaigrette.

Chili-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes may be a Thanksgiving must—but marshmallow-laden calorie bombs are not! Instead, shake things up this year with this spicier spin on the sweet potato, from our Dining and Nutrition Services team.

Brussels Sprouts with Brown Butter and Dill
You'll probably find that Brussels sprouts become a lot more popular at your holiday table this year if you try this recipe, which calls for sautéing the sprouts. A brown butter with dill might sound like the work of a fancy chef, but is actually fast and easy to make.

Thyme-Roasted Carrots
Roasting carrots bring out their natural sweetness, and thyme adds an earthy touch in this simple recipe that lets the flavors of fall shine.

Healthy Apple Crisp
Have a Thanksgiving guest who is wheat- and/or dairy-free? They—and everyone else at your table—will love our Urban Farm team's take on the classic dessert, which features the flavors of maple syrup and pecans, along with all those autumnal spices.
