The holiday season is upon us, and for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, finding delicious and safe recipes can be a challenge. However, this doesn’t mean you have to skimp on flavor or festive cheer this Christmas. Here are some fabulous gluten-free recipes to try for your holiday table.

1. Roast Turkey with Lemon and Garlic

A classic Christmas turkey can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free breadcrumbs for the stuffing. For the turkey itself, a simple lemon and garlic marinade adds a burst of flavor that is sure to impress your guests. In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Rub the mixture all over the turkey and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. Roast in the oven at 350°F for 2-3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

2. Gluten-Free Gravy

No turkey is complete without gravy, and this gluten-free version is easy to make. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in gluten-free flour (such as rice or oat flour) until the mixture turns golden brown. Slowly whisk in chicken or vegetable stock until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Mashed Potatoes

To make mashed potatoes gluten-free, simply omit any flour or gravy mix that may contain gluten. Boil potatoes until soft, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. To add some extra flavor, try mixing in roasted garlic or grated parmesan cheese.

4. Green Bean Casserole

This classic side dish can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free breadcrumbs for the topping. In a skillet, sauté onions until caramelized and set aside. In a separate pot, simmer green beans until tender. Combine the green beans, sautéed onions, cream of mushroom soup (choose a brand that is labeled gluten-free), and seasonings in a baking dish. Top with gluten-free breadcrumbs and bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.

5. Peppermint Bark

For a festive and gluten-free dessert, try making peppermint bark. Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler, and spread it out on a tray lined with parchment paper. Crush candy canes and sprinkle them on top of the chocolate. Melt white chocolate in a separate bowl and drizzle it on top of the candy cane layer. Let the bark cool in the fridge for an hour before breaking it into pieces.

In conclusion, having a gluten-free Christmas doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or tradition. With these delicious recipes, your holiday table will be filled with flavor and festive spirit. Happy cooking and happy holidays!
