13 Best Sides to Serve with Beef Schnitzel

I know what it’s like.

You’re trying to figure out how you’re going to make your beef schnitzel taste great.

And you’re also trying to figure out what sides you want to serve with it.

Well, I’ve got good news for you: there are so many tasty options out there!

I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of ways to serve my beef schnitzel (and other meals) for years now—and I’ve discovered that there are tons of delicious side dishes that go perfectly with any meal.

In this blog post, I’m sharing 13 side dishes that I just love.

They’re all easy to make and taste amazing, so they’ll make your meal feel special every time.

What to Serve with Beef Schnitzel?

The best side dishes to serve with beef schnitzel are mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and rice.

While the schnitzel itself is delicious, it can be a little dry on its own.

Mashed potatoes are a great way to add some moisture and flavor to the dish, and they go well with just about anything.

Steamed broccoli is also a good choice for adding some green vegetables into your meal.

Finally, rice is a great side dish because it’s easy to prepare and goes well with many different meats.

When I’m making beef schnitzel, I always have to think about what side dishes to serve with it. It’s not just about serving something that’s tasty—it’s about serving something that complements the meal and makes it even more delicious.

1. Steamed Vegetables

The perfect side dish, steamed vegetables, are a must-have for any meal.

They’re also easy to make and serve, which is why they’re one of my go-to sides.

You can steam any vegetable you like—the most popular being broccoli and asparagus.

And if you’d like to try something new, consider trying cauliflower or mixed green beans.

2. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are another favorite of mine.

They’re super simple to make and taste delicious when paired with meaty dishes like beef schnitzel.

The best thing about mashed potatoes is that they can be made in advance and served cold or hot—so they’re perfect for parties or other social events where you may have less time than usual on your hands!

3. Green Salad

This is one of my favorite sides to serve with almost any meal.

It’s refreshing and light, but it also has vegetables in it, which means you can feel good about eating it. (Plus, I’m a big fan of any meal that lets me feel like I’m eating healthy even when I’m not.)

4. Baked Potato with Sour Cream and Chives

This is another one that you can’t go wrong with!

It’s a great way to use up leftovers if you have any from dinner last night, but if not, baked potatoes are an easy thing to make even when you’re short on time (just poke some holes in them with a fork before microwaving them for about 10-15 minutes).

They’re also pretty filling and hearty—just be sure not to overdo it on toppings like bacon or sour cream!

5. Macaroni and Cheese

This is a classic favorite that never gets old.

I love how creamy it is, and the flavor of the cheese is just right—not too strong but still rich enough to stand up to the meat.

It’s also super simple to make at home!

6. Rice Pilaf with Almonds and Raisins

This is a super simple recipe that has a lot of room for customization: You can substitute the almonds for pine nuts or cashews if you like, or leave them out altogether if they’re not your thing.

The raisins add some sweetness to the dish without making it too much of one flavor profile.

This rice pilaf also pairs well with most meats—and as an added bonus, it will keep your guests full longer than other side dishes because it has so much protein in it!

7. Roasted Asparagus Spears with Lemon Juice

If you’re looking for a side that’s healthy and delicious, look no further than roasted asparagus spears.

If you don’t like the taste of lemon juice, you can use olive oil instead, but the lemon juice really brings out the flavor of the asparagus.

8. French Fries with Ketchup or Mayonnaise

This is another classic pairing that never disappoints.

Fried potatoes are always a good choice for any meal—they taste great with just about anything! And if you want to add a little flavor to your fries, ketchup or mayonnaise are perfect options (as long as they’re not too salty).

They add just enough flavor without overpowering the other ingredients on your plate; plus they complement each other well because both ketchup and mayonnaise have similar flavors (sweetness).

9. Coleslaw

Who doesn’t like coleslaw?

It’s crunchy and fresh and easy to make.

It goes great with beef schnitzel because it has a similarly crunchy texture and also brings some freshness to the plate.

You can find plenty of recipes online for making your own coleslaw, but if you’re pressed for time, look for a store-bought one that isn’t too heavy on mayonnaise or other fatty ingredients.

10. Garlic Bread

Garlic bread is another great option because it goes well with almost any kind of meat (beef schnitzel included).

You can make the garlic bread yourself or buy it from the store; either way will taste great!

If you want to save time on making your own garlic bread, I would recommend buying it at the store—they usually sell pre-made garlic bread at most supermarkets nowadays!

11. Baked Beans

Baked beans are an easy side dish that can be served with any type of meat and they’re always a hit with guests.

They are also super simple to make—just add some beans, water, beef broth and spices into a pot and let it simmer for about an hour on low heat.

Once the beans are tender, drain them and put them in a serving bowl or plate. You can also garnish your baked beans with some chopped onions or jalapeno peppers for extra flavor!

12. Brussel Sprouts

If you’re looking for something a little bit different, try making your own brussel sprouts!

It’s a great way to make sure you’re getting all the nutrients out of this cruciferous vegetable.

They’re also super easy to cook—just toss them in some olive oil and seasonings, roast them at 350°F for 20 minutes, and you’re good to go!

13. Corn on The Cob

Corn on the cob is one of my favorite sides for beef schnitzel because it adds some crunchy texture and sweetness that complements the savory flavor of the beef.

To make it, simply cut off the husk and silks from each ear of corn, rub with butter or margarine, then grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until tender enough to pierce with a fork (or grill directly over coals).
