November 16, 2017 by Jeanette 8 Comments

You’ll want to refer to this collection of Gluten Free Holiday Side Dish Recipes for all your holiday entertaining. Holiday entertaining can be tricky when you have guests with special dietary needs. Plan on serving an assortment of side dishes at your holiday meal, including a variety of colorful dishes featuring different vegetables, some mashed, some roasted, some raw. There’s something for everyone in this collection of gluten free holiday side dish recipes.

It’s hard to believe the holiday season is right around the corner! To make your holiday menu planning easier, I’ve pulled together over 100 gluten-free side dish recipes from my blogger friends that would be perfect for the holidays. This collection of gluten-free side dish recipes is divided into a couple of sections to make it easier for you to pick and choose your side dishes.

Here are a few tips that have helped make my holiday cooking and entertaining easier over the years:
– Prep/assemble side dishes ahead of time whenever possible to take some of the work load off of the big day. Most side dishes can be either prepped ahead of time or cooked ahead of time and just reheated the day of your holiday dinner
– Choose a variety of colorful side dishes for a nice visual appeal, e.g., sweet potatoes, a colorful salad, green beans or brussels sprouts, fresh cranberry sauce
– Choose some side dishes that can be served cold, made on the stovetop or in a slow cooker so your oven is freed up for the turkey or roast
