Recommended Sides

This dish pairs nicely with some roasted carrots and green beans. For a special touch, you could also try adding some raisins or dried cranberries to the vegetables before roasting. (insert joke here: “What did the raisin say when he found out he was going to be in a roast? - ‘Man, I raisin’t gonna get out of this one!’)
