5 High Protein Traybake Dinners to make this month

If you want big flavour without juggling three pans, traybakes are the answer.

Just chop the ingredients, season everything well and let the oven do the work. These are some of my current favourite traybake dinners — high-protein, comforting and perfect for busy evenings when you want something simple but delicious.

All of the recipes are completely free on the Archer Kitchen website and include full nutritional macros.

Finished with a cooling yogurt base, fresh coriander, and a squeeze of lemon, it’s a no-fuss midweek dinner that tastes like something straight from a Moroccan souk.

If you love bold Asian-inspired flavours but want something quick, simple and fuss-free, this Teriyaki Chicken Traybake is the perfect midweek dinner.
