Spiced Duck & Brussels Sprout Tray BakePin itFollow us 148.4k

This easy low-carb tray bake is the perfect meal to throw together at the end of a long day. Pop it in the oven and forget about it while you relax on the couch. You could even prep the majority of it in advance and have it ready in the fridge to bake.

Bonus points? It’s all cooked in the one tray so it’s almost zero washing up! Because we are using duck which is naturally fatty, you won't need any added fats and oils and everything can be baked in the rendered duck fat.

Apart from duck drumsticks and duck legs, you could even use a whole duck and bake it for about oven for 40 minutes per kilogram or 2 pounds, plus 10 minutes extra. If you can't get hold of duck, use chicken drumsticks instead (will require shorter baking time) and add a drizzle of ghee or duck fat. Enjoy!
