Gluten Free Holiday Recipes — Side Dishes

Stuffing and potatoes are two holiday recipe staples. While potatoes are naturally gluten free, stuffing isn’t.

Or consider one of these other gluten free potato recipes:

• Oven roasted garlic potato wedges from Lathi’s Kitchen
• Loaded mashed potato casserole from Dinner at the Zoo
• Whipped sweet potatoes with bananas and honey from Deliciously Plated
• Garlic mashed potatoes from Mirthmade

And if you’re looking for a gluten free stuffing alternative, check out this gluten free vegan stuffing from Strength and Sunshineor this crockpot cornbread stuffing from A Year of Slow Cooking.

Don’t forget the vegetables! Green beans are always a favorite at the holiday table, and these gluten free green bean bundles from Dinner at the Zoo look delicious!  Or, incorporate a popular holiday flavor into a side dish with this pumpkin risotto from My Wife Can Cook.
