These budget-friendly and delicious Thanksgiving side dishes are perfect for passing around the dinner table without breaking the bank.

There is one Thanksgiving side dish, however, that is almost universally adored, and that would be dressing. It is a perfect carb-laden, umami-rich dish that can share top billing with the turkey in popularity. There are plenty of variations on the theme of dressing. Some use cornbread and some call for regular bread and everything in between.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cut carrots in half lengthwise (keep them consistent in size). Toss carrots with the olive oil mixture and lay flat on a large sheet pan. Roast carrots for 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven), flipping them halfway through cooking.

A new report revealed that 56% of Americans would rather pile their plates with side dishes than the turkey itself.

It’s not pumpkin, sweet potato, apple, or even pecan. Nope, our readers were interested in something beyond the Thanksgiving classics. With a simple press-in crust, and easy to assemble layers, we can see how this pie would be an enticing break from working with pie dough or tricky custard fillings that can crack.
