Equipment

  • Sheet pan For roasting vegetables
  • Mixing bowl For salads and dips
  • Cutting board
  • Skillet For sautéing spinach and broccolini
  • Serving platter
  • Small bowls For sauces and dips

Method
 

  1. Assess what the main dish already provides—if it has starch, focus on vegetables and fresh sides.
  2. Choose 2-3 sides that fill different gaps: one vegetable, one starch or bread, one sauce or dip.
  3. Start the longest-cooking side first. Prep quick items like salads while the oven works.
  4. Balance temperatures—pair hot roasted vegetables with a cold slaw or chilled dip.
  5. Plate the main dish with sides arranged around it. Drizzle sauce or add garnish last.

Notes

Add a fresh vegetable side or bright salad and keep it chilled until serving. This prevents the meal from feeling too heavy and ensures balance with rich, saucy chicken scarpariello.
