Other root vegetables to consider roasting; onions, sweet potatoes, beetroots, fennel or maybe celeriac? Consider the meat that will be the centrepiece of your roast dinner and which vegetable will best complement it. Chicken with roast potatoes and carrots? Beef with roast beetroot or fennel? Turkey with roast sweet potatoes?

You could always leave the meat out altogether and go full roast vegetable dinner if you prefer?!
