Sides and Vegetables
Vegetable sides written with the same care as the mains: exact temperatures, real done cues, and seasoning amounts that make vegetables worth eating first.
The first tested recipes are being finished now. Until they land, the weeknight and picnic collections below have complete dinners with sides built in.

Who it is for
Anyone tired of the same three sides on rotation. If you need a full dinner right now, every main on this site lists what to serve with it.
Nothing here yet
This collection is new and the tested recipes for it are still in the kitchen. Everything linked below is ready to cook tonight, and new recipes land here every week.
Questions cooks actually ask
How do I get roasted vegetables actually crisp?
High heat, a hot empty pan, vegetables in a single layer with space between them, and no oil pooling. The recipes give the exact temperature per vegetable.
Which vegetables roast well together?
Ones with similar water content and size. Root vegetables roast together nicely; add quick cooking zucchini or peppers in the last 15 minutes.
