Can you cook vegetables ahead for a big meal?

Yes, you can cook vegetables before a big meal. You can "par" cook them, meaning that they are not completely cooked for consumption, refrigerate them, and then finish cooking them with the remainder of the meal. Or, you can cook them completely, refrigerate them for up to three days, and then reheat them for the meal, or you can freeze them after completely cooking them and just reheat them for the meal. Bottom line - you must refrigerate or freeze them immediately after cooking them the first time or bacteria can grow quickly & ruin them for consumption.
