Most people start the new year trying to kick the unhealthy habits that formed over the Christmas period and even hoping to shed a few pounds. If this sounds like you, take a look at our favourite oven-baked recipes that will keep you on your new year health kick while still tasting delicious. 


Harissa cauliflower traybake

This recipe is not only healthy but is perfect for those who are doing Veganuary this year. For Jamie Oliver’s harissa cauliflower traybake, simple roast some harissa-spiced cauliflower with sweet peppers and tomatoes and serve with couscous. 

Pepper and chicken Jalfrezi traybake

While 629,000 people took part in last year’s Veganuary, not everyone can go without meat products for a month, in which case, this pepper and chicken Jalfrezi traybake recipe could be perfect. 

Another Jamie Oliver dish, this meal is really simple to make, using Jalfrezi curry paste to cut down on time. 

Roasted mushroom and halloumi salad with crispy lentils

You don’t have to fuss about with lots of pans when making this curry recipe, as you simply have to bake mushrooms and halloumi in the oven and fill the salad with lentils, spinach pesto and lettuce leaves. This will definitely make you feel healthy and wholesome this January!

Spanish sweet potato pockets

Ovens are made for sweet potatoes, caramelising the skin, and softening the flesh in one go. Make them even more delicious by filling with spicy chorizo and sweet peppers before roasting, then dollop some sour cream on top. 

Don’t forget to keep your cooker in good condition so it can be used again and again this January. If it needs some seeing to before you can begin on your traybakes, take a look for oven cleaners near me.
