healthiest christmas side dish that isn't steamed vegetables

[brightstar]

I get that sweet potato casserole made with marshmallows isn't ever going to top the healthy list. Are there any Christmas side dishes that do? Is green bean casserole really so bad, for instance?

I think green bean casserole can be healthy, it just depends on the ingredients you use. Essentially, the more you can make things from scratch (e.g. using your own mushroom soup instead of using a canned soup) and the lass fat, sugar, salt and oils you use in the recipe, the better it will be for you. Other great alternatives is making mashed cauliflower instead of whipped potatoes. Try oven roasting vegetables instead of steaming them.

What did you end up making brightstar? One of my personal favorites is oven roasting potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, radishes and garlic. I actually combine all of that together.
