Whether you are serving a traditional juicy-patty-between-brioche-buns burger or a healthier low-carb version, a nice side dish to go alongside this fast-food staple is a must.

Luckily for you, I’ve got the most delicious burger side dishes below!

What Are Good Sides for Burgers

If you are trying to figure out what goes well with burgers, let me stop you right there. Because anything that is creamy, crispy, or crunchy and not too heavy will be perfect for your patties.

But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t give your burger sides any thought. The whole point is for the side to offer a complimentary taste and round out the whole meal.

And for burgers, that can be fried or roasted veggies, coleslaw, corn sides, fresh salads, creamy pasta salads, or even cheesy bakes. Great flavors will enhance the taste of a good burger and take it to a whole new level.

Potato Sides for Burgers

The first side dish that comes to mind when you think of your favorite burgers? Potatoes, of course! They make for classic sides that taste amazing with any main course.

If you want to healthify this recipe, feel free to use an air fryer, instead.

2. Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

This recipe is much healthier than your regular fries, for two reasons. First, it is oven-baked, not deep-fried. And second, it uses sweet potatoes, which are much more nutritious.

Just by tossing them with half a teaspoon of corn flour before baking, you will get the most satisfying crispy bite.
