Midweek One-Tray Meals

One-pot Garlic Chicken

A garlicky parmesan sauce helps the chicken retain its tenderness while cooking in the heat of your Ooni oven. We made ours inspired by this BBC GoodFood recipe that has 100+ 5-star reviews, so you know you're onto a winner here.

Ooni tip: Remember to pre-heat your cast-iron skillet in your Ooni oven before adding the oil and garlic, this will be a key step to making sure your chicken is fragrant and cooks through well. Keep your Ooni's flame/heat on the mid-low side and under control, you don't want to scorch the top of the chicken and leave the middle undercooked.

Soy Salmon and Broccoli Traybake

You've never tasted salmon until you've tried it made in an Ooni oven. That kiss of high heat, plus the zing of the lemons and the umami from the soy sauce makes for a memorable midweek meal. We followed this BBC GoodFood recipe, and added a generous drizzle of sweet chilli sauce at the end. Make sure to read our tips below to adapt to your Ooni oven.

Ooni tip: We like our broccoli quite crisp so we baked it directly in Ooni at the same time as our salmon, but consider blanching the broccoli before putting in your roasting pan if you like it more on the tender side. Place your salmon on top of your broccoli florets to protect them from getting overcooked on the bottom. Keep your Ooni's flame/heat quite low to prevent overcooking your salmon.

Spinach and Mushroom Pasta Bake

Another roasting pan winner, and perfect to warm up the family on a cold evening. This definitely is one for the school night rotation. Find the original recipe at Gimme Delicious here.

Ooni tip: The original recipe calls for uncooked pasta, but we recommend you cook yours to prevent any potential undercooking. Keep your Ooni's flame/heat on the mid-low side and under control for this recipe as well, you want to reduce the sauce and get a nice little gratin on the cheese on top.
