Conclusion

The options for sides for piccata are simply endless but these are some fan favorites that are tried and true. Don’t discount going through your freezer, pantry or refrigerator for a quick inventory of what you already have to make a side dish out of ingredients on hand.

If you see 2 rutabagas in the refrigerator, make a batch of fries or mash them with garlic powder or any of its substitutes.

Gather all of your leftover veggies in the crisper and whip up a batch of roasted veggies in the air fryer or in the oven.

If you have one head of broccoli left, spritz it with a little olive oil and put it in your air fryer for a few minutes and it is fantastic with piccata.

These recipes are perfect to use up what you already have in the refrigerator.
