- Sunday roast side dish
Fancy something delicious to serve with Sunday lunch? Our best Sunday roast side dish recipes include classic accompaniments such as roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and peas. Some of our favourites include these garlic and bay roast potatoes, creamy baked leeks and roast sprouts with cranberries (ideal for Christmas).
We’ve got plenty of ideas for serving up seasonal vegetables with an extra-tasty twist, too: try your root veg enhanced with mandarins or purple sprouting broccoli with garlic and chilli.
Need lighter Sunday roast side dish recipes to serve with a spring or summer lunch? Warm asparagus and lettuce with mint or jersey royals with broad beans and serrano ham might just steal the show…
A proper roast wouldn’t be complete without gravy. We’ve also got recipes for bread, cranberry and mint sauces, plus yorkshire puddings, indulgent gratins, creamy dauphinois and cauliflower cheese.
