Recipe: Baking tray – a simple dinner on a tray

All-in-one dinners like Tray bake have become a daily favorite for many.

When dinner is all in the same shape, you can save time, dishes, and space in the kitchen, and you can do other things while the food is almost cooked by itself.

It’s as genius as it sounds, says MatPrat food expert advisor Britt Marilyn Cassin in a press release.

“These are cooking methods that date back a long time, but which obviously have got on the nerves of many nowadays,” says Kåsin, revealing that a simple part of the trick to achieving a good result is to break all the ingredients into pieces, so that it doesn’t take long to be done. Finish everything at the same time.

Beware of different cooking times

Chop up the vegetables you like best, add a source of protein such as eggs, fish, beef, pork or chicken. Pour over a little oil and season with salt, pepper and other spices or fresh herbs. And here you can also use the leftovers of yesterday that have already been cooked or fried, you can simply add them at the end of the baking time – then the leftover dish will be good too.

Different ingredients have different baking times in the oven, and they shouldn’t always be heat treated for the same length of time, so it’s best to chop the vegetables into different sizes depending on how long you need them in the oven.

Fits everyone

And even if the entire dish is prepared on the same tray, you can easily change the taste and adapt the dinner to the different preferences in the family.

For example, you can marinate meat and vegetables separately and add a little extra flavor when cooked. If you fill the boats with oranges or lemons, you can squeeze them into the dish at the end. Fresh herbs, feta, olives, pomegranate, finely chopped green onions, nuts or seeds are well suited for “icing on the cake” before serving.

Here it is almost only imagination that sets the limits. Since you can also use this method to make a really good dessert, Kåsin suggests:

Divide two bananas and put them in a fireproof dish and bake in the oven. Top with salty peanuts, a sweet raspberry cocktail and caramel sauce, they’re guaranteed to appeal to young and old alike.

Try one or all of the following:
