I roasted a chicken & root veg in the same pan but the veggies ended up poached, not roasted. I saved them + drippings. What could I do with them?

Question

The veggies are delicious but are pretty one with the chicken fat at this point &amp;amp; therefore not super appetizing to eat straight. I thought maybe I could blend them &amp;amp; keep it as sort of a bouillon. Would that work? Any other suggestions?

As they have been swaddled in all that good chicken fat, couldn't you strain them out, pop on a baking sheet, salt &amp;amp; pepper, and cook high temp 450-ish to char a bit for some texture and interest? Even run under the broiler??

Mash them into mashed potatoes.  I do this frequently with roasted carrots and my family actually prefers it to plain mashed potatoes.

I agree with Kenzi or you can put them in to a chicken stock.

What about blitzing and stirring into a soup to enrich it?
