You can use Event Viewer for this. Open Event Viewer, then expand Windows Logs, and click on Setup.

You'll want to create a filter that looks for these keywords: Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager or just ServerManager or Event IDs 1611 & 1610. Preferably filtering for the event IDs.

For Roles, look for event ID 1611

For Features, look for event ID 1610

Example of Features added screenshot in the Event Viewer on my lab server:
