Round out dinner with Traeger side dishes, from smoked potatoes and baked beans to vegetables, corn casserole, and cornbread. There are hearty sides for a barbecue, lighter vegetable options, and holiday favorites you can cook outside.

Build the Rest of the Meal

Pair a rich main with asparagus, carrots, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. For a bigger spread, add beans, potatoes, mac and cheese, or cornbread. Green bean casserole and cornbread stuffing fit a holiday menu; pasta salads give you a cool side with grilled or smoked ingredients.

Tips for Traeger Side Dishes

  • Check cooking temperatures before sharing grill space with the main dish.
  • Use vegetables of similar size so they cook evenly.
  • Plan serving dishes and resting time so sides reach the table when the main is ready.

Questions About Traeger Side Dishes

Can I cook sides alongside the main dish?

Often, but compare both recipes’ temperatures, cooking times, and space requirements first. A side that needs higher heat may be better cooked before or after a long smoke.

Are all of these sides served hot?

No. Smoked Italian pasta salad and elote pasta salad use grilled or smoked components and are assembled as salads. Follow each recipe’s serving instructions.
