Equipment

Sheet pan for roasting vegetables
Mixing bowl for salads and dips
Cutting board
Serving platter to arrange sides and main

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 slaw and keep it chilled until serving. This prevents the plate from feeling too heavy or bland when paired with creamy deviled eggs.
