Mouthwatering Summer Sides to Cook and Hold

If you're up for using a mandoline slicer and game to try an Ethiopian spice blend, consider setting aside time to prepare Kwame's Waffle Fries. These fries are named for the chef who brought them to the masses.

At his casual Afro-Caribbean restaurant, Kwame Onwuachi, executive chef of Kith/Kin in Washington, D.C., is reintroducing a crowd favorite from his pop-up days: waffle fries with berbere salt. The Ethiopian spice blend brings a citrusy sweet heat to the fried spuds.

Yes, there's an hour of active cooking time involved, but trust us: you will find the results more than worth the effort. 

For those seeking something a bit less labor-intensive, we suggest this Best Salt-and-Pepper Charred Green Beans recipe from Country Living. With only twenty-five minutes of work involved from start to finish, you'll have a hot and delicious side dish prepared, perfect to pair with almost any entree. The beauty of these beans (apart from their simplicity) is that they work well for backyard barbeques and elegant sunset dinners alike.

Speaking of fancy sunset dinners, these Shrimp Fried Rice Cups are high on the list of our all-time favorite summer sides. Be sure to have soy sauce available on the side for drizzling, and you'll be all set.

Finally, our list would not be complete without some Chile-Lime Grilled Corn. Seasonal and sweet, enjoy this spiced-up version of a perennial summer favorite, corn on the cob.
