Pork and peppers are made for each other! You will love this traybake because it's simple to make and the whole family will love it.
Flavoured with lovely smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de La Vera), this is a yummy one-pan meal.
Cooking doesn't get any easier than throwing everything into a baking tray and leaving it to cook.
There's no real recipe since you can add whatever takes your fancy. 😉 Peppers, we love peppers!
If the weather’s nice, you can cook this on the BBQ using a suitable tray. There's nothing nicer than sitting outdoors eating and drinking with friends.
Ingredients
- mild olive oil
- sea salt and black pepper
- sweet smoked
- lean pork loin steaks
- potatoes
- yellow, red and green bell peppers
- red onion
- garlic
- dried oregano
- dried thyme
- flat leaf parsley
I always use Pimentón de La Vera (Dulce), the sweet one. Available in any good supermarket.
They also sell a hot one, but some might find it too hot!
I've seen it sold on Amazon, but please don't pay a silly price since it's only £2 a tin in the supermarket.
Is Pimentón the same as Paprika?
Smoked paprika is often called pimenton or smoked Spanish paprika. It's made from peppers that are smoked and dried over oak fires.
This process gives the red powder a rich, smoky flavour. This smoked variety is available in either mild or hot.
Top tips!
- If you make this with chicken, be sure to use skinless, boneless thighs, as breast fillets will probably end up dry.
- To feed more people, just add more of everything!
Equipment
You will need a large non-stick roasting tray or dish.
So, with a fancy roasting dish in hand, this traybake was waiting to be made!
Just pile all your nicely seasoned vegetables, including potatoes and pork, into your roasting tin.
Then put it into the oven to cook.
Make this recipe your own!
Instead of pork, you could use skin-on chicken thighs.
You could add courgettes (zucchini) or aubergine (eggplant).

Pork Traybake with Potatoes
Traybakes are so very simple to make and a great way to feed a crowd.
Ingredients
- mild olive oil (not extra virgin)
- sea salt and black pepper
- a good amount of smoked paprika
- 4 nice lean pork loin steaks, although a little bit of fat around the edge is a good thing
- 4 medium-sized (Maris Piper) or Russet potatoes - washed and sliced to about 1cm - don't bother peeling them
- 1 yellow, 1 red and 1 green bell pepper - cut into big bite-sized pieces
- 1 large red onion - cut into wedges
- 2 nice fat cloves of garlic - flattened with the back of a knife
- a big pinch of dried oregano
- a big pinch of dried thyme
- flat leaf parsley - leaves only and chopped
Instructions
- Throw the sliced potatoes into your roasting tin and drizzle with olive oil. Season well with sea salt and black pepper, along with a good sprinkling of smoked paprika.
- Use your hands to toss the potatoes until they’re well coated, then pop them into the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and flip them over. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic to the tray, then sprinkle with oregano and thyme, and season with salt.
- Rub each pork loin with olive oil and an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika, coating evenly. Place the pork in the tin, right on top of the peppers.
- Put it back in the oven, uncovered and cook for about 20 minutes. Give everything a quick shake, then return it to the oven for another 25–30 minutes, adjusting the time based on the thickness of your pork and potatoes.
- Make sure the potatoes are cooked through as well as the pork.
- Sprinkle over the parsley and serve straight away.
Notes
Don't cut the potatoes any thicker than 1cm (half an inch) otherwise, they won't cook in time with the pork.
