The Sunday roast is a national favourite, and while it’s incredibly popular, everyone has their own way of making it, from family recipes passed down through the generations, to various meats, gravies, and even vegetarian and vegan options. The amount of variety when it comes to cooking a roast dinner may be part of what makes it so popular.
But while everyone loves eating roast dinner, a lot of people struggle to cook it, and some even find the pressure of getting everything perfect quite a challenge!
If you’re craving the comfort of a full roast with all the trimmings, but don’t know where to start, check out this easy roast dinner recipe using delicious Aunt Bessie’s ingredients like our Mini Roasties, Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls, Honey Glazed Roast Parsnips, and Homestyle Yorkshire Puddings.
If you’re making a vegetarian roast dinner, feel free to replace the chicken in this recipe with a meat-free alternative.
Our method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 5. Place some foil in the bottom of your ovenproof dish to make washing up easier, then add a little oil to help prevent the ingredient from getting stuck.
- Roast chicken dinner is one of the most popular types of roasts, and it’s important to get the meat just right as it’s the centrepiece of the whole dish. Place the chicken breasts (or vegetarian alternative) in an ovenproof dish, season with salt and pepper and add a slice of lemon to the top of each if you wish.
- In the same dish, add the Aunt Bessie’s Mini Roasties, Honey Glazed Roast Parsnips and Sage & Onion Stuffing Balls.
- Peel the baby carrots, then trim and wash the baby leeks before also adding these to the ovenproof dish. Once all the ingredients are in the dish, cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
- Then take the Aunt Bessie’s Homestyle Yorkshire Puddings, place on a baking tray and cook them following the instructions on the bag. Try to time the cooking of the Yorkshire puddings so that they are ready at the same time as the chicken.
- Make your preferred gravy while the Yorkshire puddings cook.
- Serve and enjoy!
