What To Serve With Roast Lamb – 10 Roast Night Sides!
Roast lamb is the roast dinner of my childhood. Growing up on our farm, there was always a stocked freezer full of lamb meat. And to this day I will always choose a roast lamb over any other meat.
A simple, slow-cooked lamb roast with from-scratch gravy is my favorite Roast dinner. And give me ALL the sides! Whether it’s a traditional roast with roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and buttered green beans, or a casual spread with salad, pitta, kalamata olives, and hummus, I’m all in!
Anyway, let’s get started. Here are my go-to roast lamb sides…

Roasted Balsamic Beetroot and Carrot Salad with Labneh
The flavours of my Summer… roasted balsamic carrots and beets on a bed of lentils topped with labneh and dukkah.
Cast Iron Skillet Rosemary Focaccia Bread
Homemade bread from scratch is just the BEST, isn’t it? This cast iron skillet focaccia bread is super easy to make, with very little resting time. It’s delicious slathered with butter and dunked in roast pumpkin soup.
The BEST Potato Salad
THE potato salad that my family say is my best dish.
Cheese and Bacon Rolls
It’s an Aussie staple. Well, this is my version. Light, fluffy homemade bread rolls with a good bit of bacon and cheese thrown into the mix!
Freekeh and Fava Bean Chickpea Salad
This fava bean chickpea salad is a bit of a rip-off of one we had for dinner one night as part of a mezze feast at a Lebanese restaurant in Dubai last month. It’s fast, fresh, and flavoursome.
Colcannon Mash – Creamy Irish Mashed Potatoes with Cabbage
Is there anything more comforting than mashed potato? Especially creamy mash with other bits in it? For me, Colcannon is king when it comes to Irish potato dishes.
Smashed duck fat roast potatoes with truffle salt
A potato roasted in duck fat is one thing, but to season with truffle salt, just takes it to a whole, out of this world level.
A Simple Burrata Caprese Salad
Nothing screams the long days of Summer quite like a Caprese salad. Layers of heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves. This simple salad with a burrata twist is a perfect addition to any bbq. A total crowd-pleaser and quick to assemble. It’s a win-win!
How to Make Roast Lamb Gravy (From Pan Juices)
This roast lamb gravy is a classic recipe, super easy, made from the leftover pan juices, and is out-of-this-world delicious. Serve it up alongside a leg of lamb or a slow-cooked lamb shoulder. You won’t regret it!
Black garlic potato gratin
Serve alongside my Herbs de Provence roast chicken on roast night or as a side to a weekend BBQ, however, I find it’s a good side dish to pretty much any gathering… Because, well, Potatoes!
Well that’s it! I hope you find some great ideas here. A roast lamb is perfect for a simple roast night dinner or something special for an occasion. Whether it is a casual roast and salad (FYI, leftover roast lamb makes great kebabs and pizzas!) or a holiday centerpiece with all the trimmings, go nuts and mix it up to create your own favorite roasted lamb dinner.
Happy roast night!
