We tried this for Thanksgiving because I wanted a side dish that looked easy and wasn’t too sweet. It tasted so good coming out of the oven I hesitated to add the dressing— but I did, and it was delicious. I’m putting this recipe in the holiday rotation, as it was easy and would be a good one to make ahead.
