Roasted Winter Squash with Vanilla Butter

Credit: Con Poulos
Go to Recipe

Fragrant vanilla-bean butter does double duty here--it both flavors the squash and softens the skin during roasting. The greater the variety of winter squash you use, the more interesting the dish will be.

Glazed Carrots with Cardamom and Ginger

Go to Recipe

Most people cook carrots in water, Shawn McClain says, which dulls their flavor. His secret to keeping them supertasty is to cook them in carrot juice and orange juice until glazed.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten took the American stuffing basics and reconfigured them. This dressing, which he prefers to cook outside the bird, takes an unexpected form. It can be made ahead and rewarmed as the turkey rests.

Lemony Salt-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Go to Recipe

This lemon-scented herb salt makes a great seasoning for everything from roasted white fish to grilled chicken and pork to steamed vegetables—and of course, any kind of potato. Grinding the sage, rosemary and thyme into the salt, rather than just stirring it in, helps intensify and meld the flavors.

Roasted Beets with Pistachios, Herbs and Orange

Go to Recipe

Beets are a no-brainer for healthy meals since they taste great even when they’re simply roasted with a little oil. Naomi Pomeroy goes beyond that, topping red and golden beet slices with a lively mixed-herb dressing, pistachios and celery leaves.

Sautéed Rainbow Chard with Garlic and Lemon
