Roasted fingerling potatoes

I love all varieties of potatoes, but fingerling potatoes are my favorite.

When roasted, they develop a soft, buttery flavor, so you don’t need much when seasoning them.

Plus, they take less time to roast than your usual potatoes.

These roasted fingerling potatoes are best enjoyed with a saucy dish like chicken scarpariello so they can soak up all its delicious pan juices.

Garlic knots

Not in the mood for roasted potatoes?

Mop up your chicken scarpariello’s sweet and sour sauce with these delicious garlic knots.

They’re soft, fluffy, and brimming with buttery garlic flavors.

These treats can be made with store-bought dough, but trust me – they’re better with homemade.

Caesar salad

Add a crisp, refreshing bite to your chicken scarpariello with a serving of classic Caesar salad on the side.

With this salad only having three main elements – lettuce, croutons, and dressing – it’s easy to make from scratch.

Plus, everything you need (even for the dressing) is probably already in your pantry.

Roast them in the air fryer instead – you’ll get the crispiest sprouts you’ll ever have, ready in just a few minutes.

I like to keep it simple in terms of flavor, especially when you’re planning to have these alongside chicken scarpariello.
