New Hampshire Favorite Side Dishes


Return to Sides index
↠ Maple Baked Beans:
Description:  Maple baked beans are a classic, comforting side dish known for their rich, sweet, and smoky flavor profile, often featuring a balance of pure maple syrup, molasses, and savory bacon. They are a staple for BBQs, potlucks, and summer cookouts, pairing exceptionally well with grilled meats, ribs, and hot dogs.

↠ New England Popovers:
Description:  New England popovers are light, airy, and hollow rolls with a golden-brown, crisp exterior and a tender, moist, custardy interior. Similar to Yorkshire pudding, these egg-based, quick-bread pastries are baked in specialized pans until they rise high above the rim. They are typically served hot, with butter and jam, or as a savory side to soups and roast dinners.

↠ Walnut-Rosemary Roasted Pumpkin:
Description:  A Walnut-Rosemary Roasted Pumpkin side dish is a cozy, autumnal dish that perfectly balances natural sweetness with savory, earthy, and crunchy elements. It typically features cubed or wedged pumpkin (such as butternut or sugar pumpkin) roasted until tender and caramelized, accented by fresh rosemary and topped with toasted walnuts.

↠ Coleslaw with Cider Vinegar:
Description:  Coleslaw with cider vinegar is a crisp, zesty, and refreshing side dish characterized by its tangy, bright flavor profile, often serving as a healthier, mayo-free alternative to traditional creamy slaw. It typically features thinly shredded green and red cabbage, carrots, and sometimes onions or bell peppers, dressed in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, oil (like olive oil), and a touch of sweetener (honey or sugar) to balance the acidity.

↠ Creamy Green Beans:
Description:  Creamy Green Beans are a luxurious, comforting side dish featuring tender-crisp green beans coated in a rich, velvety sauce. Often served as an elevated alternative to traditional green bean casserole, this dish is popular for holidays, Sunday roasts, and special dinners. It is highly versatile, typically made in one pan on the stovetop or baked in a casserole dish.
