Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
These Roasted Fingerling Potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fresh rosemary, garlic, and herbs are combined with olive oil and fingerling potatoes, then roasted to a perfect golden brown color and texture. A quick and easy side dish that pairs well with almost any main dish. Be sure to make enough, because your family and friends will likely want seconds!
Mama’s Easy Mexican Rice
Mama’s Easy Mexican Rice is a simple variation of traditional Mexican rice. This safflower recipe requires no chopping, making it a quick and easy side dish recipe for weeknight meals. This tasty rice comes together in minutes, and is perfectly cooked every time. Its subtle flavor pairs wonderfully with Mexican food, and almost any style of main dish or protein.
Quick Calabacitas Con Queso
Quick Calabacitas Con Queso is a quick and easy variation of an authentic Mexican side dish recipe. Zucchini squash is sautéed with garlic and spices, then simmered with tomatoes and diced chiles, and topped with jalapeno jack cheese. This cheesy & spicy side dish can be made mild or spicy (or vegan) according to your preference. My 5 ingredient recipe is keto friendly, quick to make, and can be served as a side dish or vegetarian main dish.
