There are savory fall side dishes, like green bean casserole or roasted broccoli, and then there are the sweet ones that could easily double as dessert. The most over-the-top creation on the Thanksgiving table might be the famous (or rather,  infamous) sweet potato casserole overloaded with brown sugar and crowned with a sticky layer of syrupy marshmallows. Sure, it can be tasty, but it's also one of the biggest contributors to that post-holiday-dinner "carb coma."

If you're looking to add a little sweetness to your autumn sides, we much prefer the refined beauty of this delicious maple-roasted butternut squash. Drizzled with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil that's ideal for high-heat cooking and topped with a sprinkle of crunchy hazelnuts, you'll fall in love with the nutty, mild flavor of roasted squash. Topped off with a drizzle of real maple syrup, it's a holiday-worthy side dish that tastes just as divine as a dessert—without the corn syrup or added cane sugar you'll find in other sweet sides.
