It’s Thanksgiving side time! I don’t know about you but every year I try to bring something different to the turkey day table when it comes to side dishes. Obvi you’ve gotta have the turkey and cranberry sauce and such, but I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of casseroles and other stick to your ribs sides that you usually see. If you love deep roasted veggies with a crunchy layer of parmesan surrounding them then this guy is up your alley.
