Method

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

Notes

Add a fresh salad or tangy sauce and keep it chilled until serving. This prevents the plate from feeling too heavy or bland when paired with rich roast goose.
