DO you love a roast dinner but feel like you are too lazy to prepare one?<\/p>\n
A man shared how he did a \u201cbudget tray bake roast\u201d and the best part was it only cost \u00a34.95.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instead of carefully preparing each item in the roast, he shoved all the ingredients on a single tray to make it easier.<\/p>\n
Mitch, who posts under @mealsbymitch, uploaded a video of his simple roast and said it would also be perfect for Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe ultimate lazy roast dinner for under a fiver.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only way this could get any less lazy is if you went out for a carvery or just bought a microwave meal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mitch started off by prepping the roast potatoes, and said: \u201cStart off by peeling and cutting the spuds up into chunks.<\/p>\n \u201cBring up to the boil in salted water and then dry them off and let them completely cool.\u201d<\/p>\n Next<\/span> you should put oil<\/span> onto a baking tray and heat it up in the oven.<\/p>\n \u201cHe added: \u201cWhen it\u2019s piping hot, get the spuds on there and coat them in all that hot oil.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n You should then put your meat on the tray, and he showed himself adding chicken drumsticks and thighs.<\/p>\n Mitch continued: \u201cCover the whole lot in salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n \u201cWhack this in the oven for half an hour, set at 180C.\u201d<\/p>\n After 30 minutes, you can add the remainder of your roast ingredients, including stuffing balls, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, garlic and rosemary.<\/p>\n The food lover said: \u201cGive everything a mix around, get some more oil on there.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at all that food on there.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c\u00a34.92 for all that.<\/p>\n \u201cBack in the oven for another half an hour and it really is as simple as that.<\/p>\n \u201cNice little hack if you\u2019re only cooking for a few people this Christmas and funds are a little tight!<\/p>\n \u201cBon appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n His video has racked up around 5,000 likes and many people were quick to praise the dish.<\/p>\n One person wrote: \u201cThis looks so good.\u201d<\/p>\n Another added: \u201cI come to your page for inspiration all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>FESTIVE FEAST <\/span><\/p>\n
