Sarah Kim, side dish curator – vegetable sides, salads and seasonal dinners.

Profile:

Crispy roasted sweet potato cubes, grilled stuffed zucchini boats, lemon garlic shrimp with asparagus: Sarah Kim's recipes start with the vegetable and build the plate around it. Most of her work falls under Sides, where she covers everything from quick weeknight vegetables to dishes sturdy enough for a holiday table, with salads and seasonal produce appearing throughout.

She also writes a smaller group of Dinners, often built from the same ingredients as her sides, such as stuffed peppers, sweet potato buddha bowls and quick skillet seafood. Her recipes favor texture, whether that is a crisp roasted edge, a crunchy topping or fresh greens. They use everyday ingredients and short, clear steps, and many finish in under 30 minutes. Substitution ideas make it easy to adapt a dish to what is in season or already in your fridge.

Browse her recipes for a side that gives the main course some competition, or for a vegetable dish you will actually look forward to.
