5 tray bakes to add to your weekly rotation

Is there a kitchen tool that works as hard as the humble roasting tray? Considering all the things you can do with it, we don’t think so. Above all, we love its one-pan nature and that you simply toss a load of ingredients into it before throwing everything into the oven. If you’re looking for a little tray-bake inspiration, here are 5 of our current favourites.

A looser interpretation of a tray bake but when it’s good as this, you’ll understand why we’re making the exception. Serve with a pile of fluffy rice or roast potatoes and you’ve got yourself an excellent midweek main.
