1. Garlic Parmesan Summer Squash
Garlic Parmesan Summer Squash is the perfect easy side dish. I absolutely love squash, and like to find ways to switch it up. We always pick a ton of squash from our garden, and this recipe is an easy way to use up excess squash.

Simply chop up your squash, and add it to a bowl. Toss with a splash of your favorite oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. If you are feeling extra you can add my secret ingredient…
Then cook in your air fryer, tossing occasionally. When your squash turns golden brown, plate them up, and serve with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
2. Spaghetti Pasta Salad Side Dish Recipe
Spaghetti Pasta Salad is a yummy twist on a classic pasta salad. It is perfect to make all year round but is especially good for summer dinners.

This pasta salad is one of those dishes that you can really make your own. So, add whatever veggies you like best. My favorite veggie to add to pasta salad is cucumbers.
For this spaghetti pasta salad, I used a veggie peeler to slice my veggies in long skinny slices to make them similar to the noodles.
3. Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos
Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any get-together. When the weather starts warming up these are always one of the first things on our menu to grill. They are also just as tasty cooked in the oven. Spicy Jalapenos with a creamy cheese filling, add some bacon, and it doesnβt get much better than that.

Stuffed Jalapenos are one of those easy recipes that is always a crowd pleaser. I like to leave my Jalapenos whole and use a small knife to clean out the insides.
When they are completely deseeded I will add my cheeses. Then grab your favorite bacon and start wrapping your jalapenos.
4. Sweet and Tangy Carrot Salad Side Dish Recipe
Sweet and Tangy Carrot Salad is the perfect easy side dish when you are wanting to spice things up. Made with honey, lemon, and crushed red pepper these carrots are delightfully sweet, and a little spicy. But donβt worry, if you are not a fan of the heat, this recipe is just as delicious without the pepper flakes.
