16 tray bake recipes for dinner in 30 minutes or less

It always surprises me when I hear people say they don’t like cooking, don’t have time to cook or just don’t want to. I don’t believe it could get any easier than throwing everything onto an oven tray and baking it in the oven. It most parts this is called a “tray bake” and it couldn’t get any simpler. Here are 16 tray bake recipes for dinner in 30 minutes or less.

What you’ll need:

Meat that is going to stand up to a relatively high temperature for a longer period of time does well in a tray bake. Cuts like chicken thighs, drumsticks, chicken pieces, pork or lamb chops. sausages etc will take about the same time to cook as the vegetables. If you cook a piece of fish or chicken breast, it will most likely dry out before the vegetables cook.
All sorts of vegetables are great for a tray bake. Potatoes, sweet potato, pumpkin, other root vegetables like parsnip, carrots, wedges of cabbage, tomatoes, onion, olives. asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, beans, capsicum (peppers), whole garlic cloves.
Canned pulses also add an extra boost of protein or go all out with a vegetarian tray bake. Try chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans etc.
Herbs and spices sprinkled on before cooking will enhance the flavour. It’s probably best to leave any fresh herbs until serving for garnish.
All your other seasonings like sauces such as barbecue sauce, soy sauce, honey, maple syrup, salt, pepper, flavoured salts will also enhance the flavour.
Add 1 to 2 cups of stock to the dish when cooking and make a gravy once the meat and vegetables have been removed. All that goodness will be in the remaining liquid and make the most delicious sauce.

A lot of people are struggling these days and meat is one of the most expensive products out there. Ground meat is relatively cheap but when I see people asking for recipe ideas using ground meat, the same ones seem to get suggested. The usual savoury mince, spaghetti bolognese, meatballs etc. There’s a lot more to ground meat than these tasty, but sometimes, boring ground meat staple dishes. Here are 32 gourmet style recipes using ground meat.

Many of the most beautiful tasting cuisines from around the world, and often the most poor countries in the world, use ground meat in the most amazing ways. All you need is a few extra staples to keep in the pantry and you can quite easily create these dishes in your home kitchen.

You can use any ground meat for any of these recipes. Ground meat comes in the form of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, turkey, veal or a combination of any of these. They can be interchanged in any way. If you see a recipe using ground chicken but only have pork, use the pork. It’s such a versatile cut of meat, and cheap!
