Equipment

  • Sheet pan for roasting vegetables

  • Cutting board
  • Skillet for sautéing and searing

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 bright salad or tangy slaw and keep it chilled until serving. This prevents the plate from feeling too heavy or bland when paired with creamy celery root puree.
