Winter has well and truly settled in, and with it comes one of Australia’s most loved traditions: the Sunday roast. What many home cooks don’t realise is just how much sugar can sneak into a classic roast, hiding in the glazes, sauces and sides.

The good news is, you can still enjoy the meal you love, with a simple Splenda swap.

Splenda Granulated measures and cooks just like sugar, so it’s a simple swap, no recalculating or changing your method required. It’s an easy way to incorporate healthy recipes into your weekly meal planning.

Here are some of our favourite healthy dinner recipes this roast season.

Ham Glaze

A sticky, caramelised ham glaze makes for the perfect centrepiece, but the classic version can contain high amounts of sugar per serve. This recipe gets the same glossy finish without the added sugar, and it scales down easily for dinner for two recipes.

Cinnamon Roasted Carrots and Cranberries

Take your roasted carrots to the next level with cinnamon and cranberries. Splenda Granulated balances the tartness and brings out the warmth of the cinnamon, without tipping this tasty side dish into dessert territory.

Asparagus with Sesame-Ginger Sauce

After a lighter side? This asparagus with sesame-ginger sauce is a winner. Ginger, sesame and a touch of Splenda Granulated brings the sweet flavour with no honey or sugar needed, making it one of our go-to easy recipes for a Sunday cook-up.

German Potato Salad

A warm German-style potato salad is a nice change from your usual roast potatoes, and it’s the perfect meal to prepare at home ahead of a family lunch. The tangy dressing uses Splenda Granulated to perfectly balance the sweet and sour flavours, without the added sugar.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is one of the easiest places to cut back on sugar. This version swaps in Splenda Granulated for that classic sweet-tart flavour. It’s the perfect accompaniment for any roast and an easy recipe to prepare ahead of time.

Warm Tiramisu Latte

Once the plates are cleared, a Warm Tiramisu Latte is a cosy way to round out the night. Think of it as your after-dinner sweet treat in a cup, without the added sugar thanks to Splenda Sweetener Sachets.
