Traybake Recipe FAQs
What is a tray bake?
A tray bake is a dish where all of the ingredients are cooked on a single baking tray. Traybake recipes are popular as they require minimal effort, and simplifies the process of cooking different ingredients with different timings. It also reduces clean up, as there’s only one baking tray to wash once you’re done! Tray bakes can include a variety of ingredients such as meats, seafood, vegetables and spices. Aside from savoury tray bakes, you can make sweet tray bakes too, such as brownies, flapjacks and other bakes, perfect for feeding large groups of people.
Can you use a baking tin for a traybake?
Yes, you can use a baking tin or any appropriate oven-proof tray to cook your tray bake recipes. Just ensure the ingredients aren't too crowded; if the tray is over-packed, the vegetables will steam rather than roast, and you'll miss out on those delicious crispy edges.
How deep should a traybake tin be?
Ideally you need a shallow tin for a traybake to obtain the best results. Around 2-4cm deep is perfect as it will allow the ingredients to benefit from the heat of the oven, without getting burnt.
How do I ensure everything on the tray is cooked at the same time?
The secret to successful tray bake recipes is 'size management'. Cut harder vegetables, like potatoes or carrots, into smaller pieces, and leave softer veg, like courgettes or peppers, in larger chunks. If you are using quick-cooking protein like fish, you can always add it to the tray halfway through the roasting time of the vegetables.
What are the best oils to use for tray bakes?
Oils with a high smoke point are best for roasting. Olive oil, rapeseed oil, or sunflower oil are all excellent choices. Avoid using extra virgin olive oil for high-heat roasting as it can lose its flavour and nutritional benefits at high temperatures.
Can I make tray bakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can chop and season your vegetables and protein and keep them in a sealed container or on the tray (covered) in the fridge. When you're ready for dinner, simply slide the tray into the oven. This makes HelloFresh UK traybakes the ultimate hack for busy weeknights.
