Method
 

  1. Choose 2–3 sides that balance the plate including a fresh or crunchy option, a starchy side, and a vegetable for texture and flavor contrast.
  2. Start preparing the longest-cook side first, such as roasted vegetables or chicken thighs, and finish with quick and easy sides last.
  3. Serve the selected sides with aioli on the side for dipping, spreading, or drizzling as desired.

Notes

Start starchy sides first and add a fresh vegetable side to keep the plate balanced and avoid heavy or mushy textures.
