Equipment

  • Sheet pan for roasting vegetables

  • Cutting board always needed
  • Serving platter for presenting sides

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 creamy dip and prep ahead when possible. Keep pickles separate and chilled to prevent the plate from becoming too heavy or soggy.
