While contemplating Thanksgiving meal ideas I knew it was the sides that I needed to focus on.  Since I don’t have the money right now to buy a vegan turkey meal, the sides are the limit!…pun intended 🙂 Here is a twist on potatoes and green beans.  Savory Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans.

I love potatoes so it is no hardship for me to test out the recipes before the holiday to make sure they were good enough for the big T day.  I was trying to come up with something other than the requisite mashed potatoes or a mashed alternative, so I decided to try a turkeyesque seasoning on the roasted potatoes.  I love roasting potatoes in the oven, but normally I just toss them with dried chives and a little salt and yum!

Last year I made these green beans and they were a big hit so I knew they would end up in there again.  Roasting brings brings out the natural flavors of any veggie, and really all you need is a small amount of salt to help it along.  The seasoning really brought home the Thanksgiving flavors and with the potatoes, I so did not miss the mashed potatoes or carbilicous stuffing.
