Try this delicious and easy lamb traybake recipe for a hearty meal. Effortlessly cooked lamb, roasted vegetables and simple seasoning in one pan for a fuss-free dinner. Perfect for a family meal.
I absolutely love a good traybake. You might also call them sheet bakes or one-pan roasts. It’s all the same thing – generally, meat (or an alternative) veggies and potatoes roasted together on one tray.
They feature regularly on our family meal plans, especially midweek when we’re busy and I don’t always have time to spend hours in the kitchen.
Why You’ll Love This Lamb Leg Traybake
This recipe for lamb traybake is just one of many that we eat regularly.
It’s an Easy Peasy Recipe
Traybakes are incredibly easy with very little prep time.
Depending on what you are baking, you might need to add individual ingredients to the tray at different times, and there’s some chopping, but it really is a case of throwing it all in a pan and roasting.
A Great Way to Eat More Veg
A traybake dinner like this is packed with veggies, and a great idea if you are trying to eat more vegetables.
Versatility
Traybakes with lamb are so versatile. You can use steaks or lamb chops, potatoes, sweet potatoes, root veg or Mediterranean veg.
You can also add halved new potatoes if you’d like a lamb and potato traybake.
Use what you like!
Minimal Washing Up
Another great benefit of an easy lamb traybake recipe is that you only have a large tray to wash up! Which is always a bonus for me!

Red Onion

What Veg Works Well in A Roast?
I love swede like this. The sweet thick slices are really lovely. You could add potato or sweet potato too if you wanted, just make sure they are peeled and thinly sliced so that they cook evenly.
I always use carrots and parsnips because they’re my favourites and work really well on a lamb tray bake, but you could swap your veg out too if you prefer other things.
You could also make a lamb traybake with vegetables like peppers and new potatoes, which taste amazing roasted. Instead of cooking in stock, I’d drizzle these with olive oil, season and nestle on the lamb (also drizzled in oil) without any liquid.
How Many Does This Lamb Traybake Serve?
Well. I’m saying this Lamb Traybake recipe serves 2. But there is plenty of veg. We tend to have some leftover which the kids often have with some sausages. So, if you wanted it to serve more people, I would just add some extra lamb steaks.
Are Lamb Leg Steaks Tough?
I’ve never found that oven-cooked lamb steaks are particularly tough. By rubbing the steaks with oil, or spraying with cooking spray, and roasting them like this, they are fairly tender and super tasty. A lamb and roasted vegetable traybake is a fantastic way to serve lamb steaks.
Are Lamb Leg Steaks Healthy?
Lamb has more saturated fat than beef, but legs are much leaner than other cuts.
However, lamb tray bake dinners like this one have loads of nutrients from vegetables, and the lamb is really the only source of fat, so I’d consider roast lamb steaks with vegetables to be a healthy family dinner.
How To Serve Lamb Traybake?
I pile the veggies high into a bowl and add a lamb steak to the top. You could add a little mint sauce if you wanted, or pour on some of the stock from the pan, but I like mine just as it is.
How to Use Lamb Traybake Leftovers
If you’ve got anything left, pop it in a sealed tub in the fridge and eat it within 2-3 days. Making sure any meat is reheated until piping hot.
If you’ve just got veg left from your lamb steak tray bake, reheat on a tray with either a little oil or stock and serve on the side of another meal.
My kids really like it all with baked sausages or chicken breasts.
Lamb Leg Steak oven recipes are easy, fast, and tasty and lamb leg steaks are always a cheaper way to enjoy lamb.
