Low-Cholesterol Side Dish Recipes

Favorite at a Brazilian steakhouse in Dallas. Not sure if this is the exact recipe they use but it tastes very close. Great side for kabobs and steak.

Very healthy and tasty sweet potatoes that will be a great addition to any meal. Very easy!

Simple and delicious recipe for rosemary-kissed, oven-roasted red potatoes.

This beautiful red rice with spices and tomato sauce, easily made in an Instant Pot®, is a wonderful side dish for any Mexican meal.

So easy, so delicious! Browned and crusty outside, light and fluffy inside.

Roast asparagus is a 15-minute side dish (and YUM).

This baked bean recipe uses canned beans instead of the dry type so it is quick and easy to prepare.

Navy beans, molasses, and maple syrup combine to make this classic dish at home.

Crispy fried plantains. A plantain is a very firm banana. Serve as side dish with your meal or as appetizers.

Super flavorful and easy.

This garlicky red potato and asparagus dish is easy and delicious served either hot or cold. Rosemary and thyme give it a sophisticated flavor. Try adding a little chopped red pepper, too...yum!

This fideo recipe was given to me by my mother in-law. It goes great with any meat dish including carne asada. I use this recipe in place of rice as my side dish.

I came up with this recipe after having made some bourbon baked beans and seeing a recipe for cola baked beans and I thought: Why not combine the two?

This is one of my favorite ways to fix corn on the cob, even when I have several to fix. Without the water from boiling, the corn stays nice and sweet. Hope this helps just one young cook.

A delicious taste of homemade beans which can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Especially great for football Sundays, or frozen for a later occasion.

My mom is from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and this is how she has been making rice all her life. One day I finally stopped and measured the amounts she used while cooking. In my view this is the perfect Mexican rice. It's not too greasy or dry, nice color, and great flavor. The Serrano pepper will add flavor but no heat to this recipe since it is used whole and not chopped. If you would like spicy Mexican rice, de-seed and chop the Serrano before adding it to the mix.

Rice with mushrooms, garlic, onion - who could beat that? My family loves this recipe! You can also use it as a main meal if you add cooked chicken after the rice is cooked. This recipe works equally well with white or brown rice, instant or otherwise. It always comes out delicious!

Air-fried fingerling potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender and creamy on the inside. This is a simple side dish that works for everyday meals as well as special occasions.

Flavorful and delicious. No one will guess this authentic tasting rice was made from instant rice.

Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. Creamy, toasty, and delicious!

Onigiri are Japanese rice balls. They're fun to make and are a staple of Japanese lunchboxes (bento). You can put almost anything in an onigiri; try substituting grilled salmon, pickled plums, beef, pork, turkey, or tuna with mayonnaise.

A yummy and easy side for hot summer days! Goes great with your grilled dishes or just to munch on. This recipe will last several days when covered in an airtight container and refrigerated.

This recipe makes nice fluffy rice every time with great taste. It was given to me by my grandmother!

This is a bright, beautiful, and very simple vegetarian dish. The secret of the sophisticated flavor is in the herb vinegar. I like to use white vinegar flavored with sprigs of tarragon.
