I love traybakes, they’re so easy to make and the combination of flavors is fantastic. As with all our recipes, the Pesto Lamb Traybake is packed with anti-inflammatory goodness and vital nutrients.

– Tomatoes and peppers provide beta carotene – a powerful anti-inflammatory that can convert to vitamin A in your body.

– And pesto is so nutritious, versatile, and packed with flavor it deserves to be used on more than just pasta!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, and remember to let us know what you think!
