Here are some of our favorite side dishes, both veggies and "starch":
-smashed potatoes - you can find recipes online, but is basically softening small potatoes in the microwave, (i like the blue ones from WF), then smashing them individually, and roasting in oven with EVOO, salt and rosemary till crispy.
-this kale and brussel sprout salad is an addiction in my family - including my 10 year old (you can buy shaved brussel sprouts at Trader Joes, and 1 bag of their organic tuscan kale)

-roasted cauliflower with parm and bread crumbs, but I like it very brown, so it takes a while at high heat
