Secrets to a better sausage traybake

Okay, this is just super simple – add in ingredients you love that way you’re eating your perfect traybake!

• For extra flavour try adding a little pesto drizzled over everything – do this half way through cooking so it keeps it’s flavour well.

• You could also turn this meal into a sticky sausage traybake by adding a good drizzle of honey, maple syrup or even sweet chilli sauce around 15 minutes before the end of cooking time.

• Switch the vegetables – try sweet potatoes, peppers, vine tomatoes or even swede wedges.
