As you enjoy the crisp fall weather, you’re probably planning for Thanksgiving in our apartments in Denver. Side dishes are just as important as the main dish, so here are four that you’ll love.
DELICIOUS SIDES TO MAKE IN YOUR DENVER APARTMENTS THIS YEAR
Try these four sides at our Denver apartments — all are delicious and easy.
MASHED SWEET POTATOES
Boil six sweet potatoes until tender, then transfer to a large bowl. Mash them up thoroughly and add 1/2 cup of butter, two minced garlic cloves, one teaspoon of thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of basil. Add salt to taste and you’re done!
GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
Combine two cans (14.5 ounces each) of French Style green beans (drained) with one 18-ounce can of creamy mushroom soup. Divide a 6-ounce can of French’s Fried Onions, reserving half and adding the other half to the green bean and soup mixture. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, and then sprinkle remaining French’s Fried Onions on top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
GLAZED SQUASH
Wrap aluminum foil on two baking sheets, then brush lightly with vegetable oil. Cut three acorn squashes into crescents, eliminating seeds. Place the crescents on the baking sheets, then season with a dash of sea salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, sprinkled evenly. Roast in oven at 400°F for about five minutes. Remove baking sheets, and then flip the squash pieces over using tongs. Add salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar to this side as well. Put back in oven until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
CRANBERRY SAUCE
Impress your guests with delicious homemade cranberry sauce. Combine one 12-ounce bag of frozen cranberries, a teaspoon of lemon zest, 3/4 cup of sugar, and one cup of water in a medium-size saucepan, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, then allow to cook until cranberries are soft. Allow to cool before serving.
