If you’re hosting friends and family this year you’re probably putting a lot of time and effort into planning the perfect Thanksgiving dinner menu. If someone at the table is avoiding gluten you may be worried about what to serve but, thankfully, you’ve got lots of fantastic options. Many classic Turkey Day dishes are naturally gluten-free and plenty more are easily adjusted with a few simple tweaks—even desserts and baked goods. Now, that’s something to be thankful for!

This gluten- and dairy-free dessert is a snap to put together. Almond meal and pureed pears give the cake a frangipane-like texture. Vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil add to the irresistible fall flavor.

This classic Thanksgiving casserole is usually a no-no for gluten-free diets, thanks to the flour and french-fried onions it contains — but our homemade version is completely wheat-free (and completely delicious, too!).

Coat thick wedges of butternut squash with maple syrup and lemon, then roast them for a simple-yet-stunning side dish. A sprinkle of red-pepper flakes adds an extra kick!
