Jazzier veg ideas for a Sunday Roast?

Doing first Sunday roast since Easter and never seem to get much further than broccoli, carrots and variations thereof.
I have bought a lovely piece of beef and want to be less boring with my veg, any ideas?

It's Sunday, it's MN somebody must be cooking something more exciting than a carrot?

we're doing your vegetables I'm afraid....Boulanger or dauphinoise potatoes, warm radish with aniseed salad, carrots with white wine and dill, and Unami broccoli...

Courgettes pan fried in olive oil and garlic with cherry tomatoes, then popped into a dish and sprinkled with cheese. Lush with most roasts!

Dauphinous instead of roast potatoes.

We also have buttered leeks with every roast. Not big fans of boiled veg evety time.

Honey roast parsnips and cheesy leeks are the favourites here.

I'm doing carrots, honey roasted parsnips, garlic roast potatoes...but I'm going to have roast beetroot and cheesy leeks too. I may even chuck on some token spinach!

Im doing winter roast veg today. Its a SW recipe but lools great. Sweet potatoes, celeriac, carrots, parsnips, swede, leeks, red onion & garlic. Cover with a bit of oil, rosemary and coriander seeds.

Will also fry off some kale with bacon for a green element.

Simple is best for me. Classic flavours. Although red cabbage done nicely is pleasant, I can never get it right.

Parsnips roasted with honey, sesame oil and cumin seeds
Savoy cabbage stir fried with bacon
Chicory and parmesan gratin
Carrots roasted with orange
Creamed leeks

I wouldn't do those all at once...I like a couple of simple veggies and one or two fancy ones. Too many clashing flavours otherwise.

Same here - except for Christmas dinner, when for me half of the point is having a different-flavoured mouthful every time and being relaxed and un-time pressured enough to enjoy each one!
