Christmas Dinner: I roasted the vegetables in a separate tray. However, you can add the vegetables to the turkey tray while it roasts for 30 minutes.
Make ahead: These delicious Christmas vegetables can be made on Christmas day or ahead of time. If you make them ahead of time, refrigerate them in an airtight container and reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
Timings: For the best results, roast these vegetables for an appropriate amount of time at the correct temperature. For this recipe, I roasted the vegetables at 200C for 30 minutes.
Add-ins: This recipe is versatile as you can add your favorite veggies. Some popular additions include sweet potatoes and cauliflower. For extra sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top.

Recipe FAQs

What goes well with a Christmas roast dinner?

When it comes to Christmas dinner, there are so many options. Traditionally, Christmas turkey, roast potatoes, roasted vegetables, stuffing, and gravy are served.
