Yes, I often cut slivers of garlic and insert into small slits cut into the
meat. Onions would be fine. I haven't tried other vegetables, but I don't
know if they might end up overcooked. The packet should not be opened during
the cooking process, so adding them later wouldn't work. Having said that,
it might be worth a try.

What I usually do is parboil carrots and potatoes, brush with butter, and
season with salt, pepper, and a dusting of paprika. I roast them at high
heat while the roast rests for half an hour.
