Keto Brussels Sprouts Recipes and Keto Broccoli Recipes for Thanksgiving have even more holiday-worthy ideas for cooking vegetables!
Let’s start with the recipe for Broccoli Gratin pictured above. Most everyone in my family would love this for a Thanksgiving veggie, and I’ve made it several times through the years.
I’m happy to have a new photo for Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic, and Parmesan, and I promise, you’ll love this way of roasting green beans if you try it.
The Brussels Sprouts recipe I’m currently swooning over is this Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Avocado and Pecans. If you like all three of those ingredients, you can’t go wrong with this recipe. My family has a few brussels Sprouts avoiders, but I like to make this for the people who love them. (More for us!)
For families who love asparagus, Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms with Everything Bagel Seasoning cooks in 20 minutes, and this is really a wow!
These Lemony Green Beans are something I find myself making over and over for guests. They cook very quickly, which makes them easy for Thanksgiving.
For a broccoli option that’s not quite so cheesy but still delicious, this Roasted Broccoli with Lemon and Pecorino-Romano Cheese is easy to throw in the oven when you take the turkey out and this cooks quickly at high heat.
When I first posted this recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pecans and Gorgonzola I said “with or without Gorgonzola”. But now I would say, don’t skip the creamy melted Gorgonzola that makes this such a wow side dish!
Roasted Green Beans and Red Peppersare not only really, really tasty, and they’re so festive for a side dish to serve all through the holidays!
If you have an Air Fryer and a small crowd for dinner, this Air Fryer Asparagus with Lemon and Parmesanis perfect for a holiday like Thanksgiving when oven space is in demand, and asparagus only needs a few minutes in the Air Fryer!
And finally, if we’re talking about Keto Thanksgiving vegetables, we can’t forget this Brussels Sprouts Gratin! This one will win over a lot of Brussels sprouts avoiders.

That does look good!

Thank you for your quick response. If I do try it the day before I will be sure to let you know how it turned out. Thanks again…..
mbchetti —Reply
This sounds like a great recipe! Could I roast the brussel sprouts the day before and then the next day heat them in the oven and then finish the recipe with tossing in the parmesan cheese and sprinkling the pine nuts? Any help is appreciated.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
I've never tried roasting the brussels sprouts ahead and reheating, and truthfully I don't think it will give nearly as good of results as cooking them right before you eat. But if you do try it, I'd love to hear what you think.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Erin glad you like it.
Erin —Reply
I absolutely ADORE that you're sharing all kinds of green veggies for Thanksgiving. I feel that sometimes, they get lost in casseroles or just completely ignored on Thanksgiving. I am currently DROOLING over your Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Avocado and Pecans. Those look incredible!
The Mom Chef —Reply
I am so bummed that my family doesn't like Brussels sprouts because I'd make either one of those dishes in a heartbeat. I love the idea of the pine nuts with the sprouts and have always adored avocado. I might just have both on the table since I can't decide which sounds better.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Thanks Joanne; I do love every one of these!
Joanne —Reply
Yay for green veggies! These are all great recipes.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Lydia, I love all these green veggies, so that would work for me!

See AlsoRoasted Carrots RecipeThe first time I went to a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner with my husband's family, I was shocked to find not one single green vegetable dish on the table. Now, most of our holiday dishes are green — a real change for the better.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Glad you're enjoying the recipes!

I spent a few hours this Sunday afternoon reading many of the wonderful South Beach friendly Thanksgiving recipes and feel much better about being able to get through the holidays with out straying too far! I've found several I'll be trying within the week and I'll definitely be back! Thanks!!
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Irene, glad to hear it.
Irene —Reply
Haha! This ia a great way to get the kids eating more veggies. I made it and there were no complaints. Thanks!
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Elle, hope the kids like the Broccoli Gratin. I made it recently with my niece, her boyfriend, and a friend and they loved it.
Ronelle, glad you like the ways to dress up brussels sprouts!

I LOVE all these green vegatables you have here Kalyn..with a favourite the brussels sprouts with balsamic…the only way my family eats them, is roasted in the oven, but your additions are so different and something I'm doing next time!
bisous
RonelleElle —Reply
broccoli is one of my kids' favorite vegetables (along with cauliflower) – I might just give the first recipe a try for dinner tonight.
and before I forget – I made your horseradish meatloaf and it was the best meatloaf ever! everybody loved it – including the kids! (it was a bigger hit than a Jamie Oliver chicken recipe I tried the other night…) I'm going to make it again but this time with mustard instead of horseradish and see how it goes.
Thanks and happy Thanks Giving!
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Thanks Georgie! I'm still trying to decide what to make myself. I'm going to my brother's house but I want to take several different side dishes.
Georgie Fear RD —Reply
They all look great Kalyn – Yes I remember the shredded brussels sprouts from last year!
Yum yum yum – how ever will I pick what to make for my table? Its just me and my husband and he's not crazy for veggies, so really I just make several veggies for myself 🙂
And the leftovers are aaaallllllllllll Mine!

Hi Kalyn 🙂
I read your a few of your posts over on Blogher and really enjoyed them.
Love the looks of this recipe and your stuffing cups!
I look forward to getting to know you and your recipes better 🙂

Karina and Janice, yaay for roasted brussels sprouts!
Janice —Reply
These all look amazing. I can't decide which brussels sprouts recipe to try first!
Karina Allrich —Reply
So many tempting recipes. And I agree- until you try roasted Brussels sprouts, you can't judge them. They get so sweet and complex when you roast them- especially with balsamic vinegar.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Becky, that sounds great to me!
Becky —Reply
Another good way to cook brussels sprouts is to cut them in half and lay cut side down in a heated cast iron skillet. Olive oil in the pan, of course. Cook a few minutes on one side then turn them over for a couple of minutes. Very delicious.
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Sandi, me too. My mom never cooked them, and when I tasted them they always seemed too bitter until I had roasted ones. Now I love them!
Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafe —Reply
I have never been a brussel sprout fan until I started roastig them… They turn into a whole new vegetable!
I'll be back to check those favorites~
Kalyn Denny —Reply
Thanks for the nice feedback about the veggie ideas. Jacqueline, I think *roasted* brussels sprouts are completely different than brussels sprouts cooked any other way, so do try them! (And yes, I'm awake in the middle of the night reading comments.)
Jacqueline —Reply
I really hate brussel sprouts Kalyn, but I am tempted by those recipes and I would like to get over my dislike of them.
LimeCake —Reply
everything look delicious! many of the vegetables are my favourite too!
Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) —Reply
My family would eat almost any green vegetable if it had enough cheese on it! Your post about the Brussels sprouts with balsamic made a believer out of me, and I've made the recipe many times since.

Thank you for the great veggie recipes!
