1 - Sweet Potato Fries
Oh boy, these are a must.
They're sweet and crispy, offering a twist on regular fries (made from beta-carotene-rich sweet potatoes). Made by slicing sweet potatoes and frying or baking them, they're a healthier option too.
We love seasoning them with paprika and garlic powder. They have a natural sweetness that's so tasty and pairs nicely with a sprinkle of sea salt.
2 - Coleslaw
Our favorite sidekick, coleslaw! This dish brings crunch and creaminess to the table.
We make ours with shredded cabbage, carrots, and a tangy mayo-vinegar dressing. (using a 2:1 mayo-to-vinegar ratio)
It's a blend of fresh and zingy flavors that complements those savory chicken sliders. It's super easy to whip up and adds that perfect balance to our meal.
3 - Pickle Chips
Who doesn't love a good pickle chip? We sure do.
They're crunchy, tangy, and add a zing to any meal.
We make ours with cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, and dill. The tanginess is off the charts (from the vinegar brine).
They cut through the richness of chicken sliders perfectly.
In our experience, they're a crowd-pleaser. That salty, sour flavor combo gets every time.
Skip the usual fries and go for these instead.
4 - Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob is a summer classic that we simply can't resist. It's juicy, sweet, and perfectly crunchy (varieties like Silver Queen are especially sweet).
We grill our corn to bring out that smoky flavor. We coat it with butter, salt, and a sprinkle of paprika.
Sometimes, we also add a bit of Parmesan cheese for that extra kick.
Nothing beats biting into a juicy cob with butter dripping down. Plus, it's super easy to prepare.
5 - Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is our go-to for something fresh and bright. We love mixing strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi.
It's juicy, sweet, and refreshing. The citrus dressing adds a zesty kick (made with lemon and orange juice).
We like ours with a sprinkle of mint for extra flavor. This side is a perfect contrast to the savory chicken sliders.
6 - Loaded Baked Potato Skins
Who doesn't love crispy potato skins? These are golden, cheesy, and loaded with bacon bits.
We fill ours with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and a sprinkle of scallions (sharp cheddar works best for flavor).
The flavors are rich and comforting. Bacon brings that smoky crunch while sour cream cools things down.
Our secret? A little garlic powder for that extra kick.
They're bite-sized and perfect.
7 - Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
We adore Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges. They're crispy on the outside, soft inside, and covered in a mix of garlic and Parmesan.
We cut the potatoes in wedges, toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper. (use about 2 cloves of garlic per pound of potatoes) We bake them until golden brown.
The flavor? a pop of savory goodness.
8 - Mediterranean Orzo Salad
We love this refreshing salad. It's loaded with orzo, cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta cheese.
Tossed with a light lemon vinaigrette, it's bright and zesty (vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano).
It's a fantastic mix of textures. The orzo is tender, veggies are crisp, and the cheese is creamy.
Perfect side for our chicken sliders.
9 - Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Guys, these babies are crispy, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tasty.
We toss sliced Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera). The result is a mix of crunchy and tender bites with a nutty flavor.
Trust me, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and they'll be gone in seconds. We love how easy they are to prepare.
10 - Grilled Veggie Skewers
Who doesn't love fresh grilled veggies? We sure do.
They're bright, colorful, and packed with flavor. Our skewers have bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onions (use red bell peppers for sweetness).
We brush them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until you see those beautiful char marks.
The veggies turn sweet and tender.
These skewers add a fresh touch to our chicken sliders and pair nicely with veggie lasagna side dishes for balanced meals.
11 - Avocado Lime Salad
Oh, avocado lime salad, how we adore you! This side dish is simple yet punchy.
We mix ripe avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro (Hass avocados provide the creamiest texture).
The lime juice adds a tangy twist. It's creamy and refreshing.
Toss with a bit of salt and pepper.
The flavors are bright. Crunch from onions, creaminess from avocados, and a zesty lime kick.
Our go-to for a fresh, bright feel.
12 - Cheesy Garlic Bread
We can't resist this one. The flavor is a perfect mix of garlicky goodness and melty cheese.
We use crusty bread, slather it with a mix of butter, minced garlic, and parsley, and it's a great match with focaccia bread side ideas.
The result is pure comfort (thanks to melted mozzarella and garlic butter). T1Every bite is crunchy outside and gooey inside.
This cheesy garlic bread perfectly rounds out our chicken slider meal.
