Plan a holiday table with a mix of savory sides, a lamb main, breakfast baking and desserts. This is a selection to choose from, rather than a single menu that needs to be cooked all at once. Pick a few dishes and work backward from their cooking and cooling steps.
1. Gluten-Free Cranberry Orange Scones
Cranberry and orange flavor gluten-free scones. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
2. Gluten-Free Molasses Gingerbread Cookies
Molasses and ginger flavor shaped cookies. Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl until fully combined.
3. Gluten-Free Maple-Dijon Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Maple and Dijon mustard glaze roasted Brussels sprouts. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for optimal caramelization.
4. Gluten-Free Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Roasted Garlic Sauce
An herb crust coats a rack of lamb served with roasted garlic sauce. Remove the roasted garlic head, squeeze soft roasted cloves out of their skins, and mash them into the sauce with a fork.
5. Gluten-Free Cranberry Pistachio Cheesecake Cups
Cranberry and pistachio flavor individual cheesecake cups. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine gluten-free rolled oats, chopped sunflower seeds, chopped pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil.
6. Gluten-Free Holiday Spiced Roast Butternut Squash
Warm spices season roasted butternut squash. Toss well until the squash is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
7. Gluten-Free Stuffed Acorn Squash with Wild Rice and Cranberries
Acorn squash halves hold wild rice and cranberries. Distribute the wild rice mixture evenly into each squash half, pressing lightly to fill the cavity.
8. Gluten-Free Holiday Roasted Garlic and Herb Cauliflower Steak
Thick cauliflower steaks are roasted with garlic and herbs. Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak generously with the garlic and herb oil mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Gluten-Free Spiced Pear and Almond Crisp
Pears bake beneath an almond crisp topping. In a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour (or seed flour blend), brown sugar, salt, and ground ginger.
10. Gluten-Free Festive Cranberry Pomegranate Quinoa Salad
Cranberries and pomegranate are mixed into a quinoa salad. Add the fresh pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, chopped parsley, mint, and green onions to the quinoa.
Choose what to make
Use the lamb as a main and choose one or two vegetable sides. Add scones or cookies for a separate baking session, or compare chilled cheesecake cups with a warm pear crisp for dessert.
Before you start
Use gluten-free labeled ingredients where needed, including flour blends, oats, pasta, bread, sauces and broth. Check labels and avoid cross-contact. These recipes may contain other allergens, including dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame or soy.
