Roast Chicken Accompaniments?

Heln

Something doesn't look right in my title Anyway, I have a whole stuffed chicken at home in the fridge for tonight's dinner. I plan on roasting it but I don't want to do the usual mashed potato, carrots and peas with it. Any original ideas???

You could maybe do some rice flavoured with chicken stock ?
Instead of veg, maybe a side salad?

Fresh sweetcorn, gravy made from the chicken browning. Mashed spuds and roast pumpkin.

Peel some carrots, & chop a butternut squash into chunks.
Drizzle liberally in olive oil.
Sprinkle the carrots with whole cumin seeds.
Dust the chunks of squash with ground cumin & coriander seed.
Thrown in a whole head of garlic covered in olive oil for good measure.
Chuck into the roasting pan for the last 45 mins that the chicken in roasting.

Edit: And maybe a couple of fresh baby beetroots.

A combination of the above: a delicious crusty loaf with real butter, a cob of very fresh corn and a crisp salad. Delish.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up doing some roast veg - a bit of everything and mashed potatoes with lots of cream, still a bit boring.
