If your New Year’s resolution is to eat healthier, you can still put your pizza oven to great use. With powerful high heat and a rotating stone, the Turpone pizza ovens offer an ideal cooking environment for a wide variety of healthy meals. Today we share a few healthy options to get you started.
Salmon
Salmon is an excellent option for propane pizza oven cooking, as the high heat produces a tender, flavorful fillet with perfectly crisp skin. Start by preheating your Turpone outdoor pizza oven until the pizza stone reaches at least 500°F, then place a lightly oiled cast-iron skillet on the stone.
Add the salmon filet skin-side down, season with salt, fresh lemon juice, butter, and lemon slices, then return the skillet to the oven. Cook using steady propane heat rather than direct flames to ensure even cooking. In just minutes, you’ll have a healthy, restaurant-quality meal that highlights the versatility of outdoor pizza oven recipes beyond traditional pizza.
Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables are a healthy, flavour-packed alternative to pizza and cook exceptionally well in an outdoor propane pizza oven. The intense, high heat of an outdoor pizza oven creates the ideal roasting environment, allowing vegetables to develop lightly charred edges while locking in their natural texture and rich, fire-roasted flavours, perfect for anyone exploring healthy pizza oven recipes.
Simply chop vegetables such as peppers, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, or carrots, then toss with a small amount of oil and your favourite seasonings. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet or cast-iron pan and place it inside your propane pizza oven. In just minutes, you’ll have beautifully roasted vegetables that highlight the versatility of pizza oven cooking, making an ideal side dish or satisfying plant-based main for outdoor cooking.
Chicken Skewers
Chicken skewers are a healthy, high-protein meal that cook perfectly in a Turpone outdoor propane pizza oven. The intense, even heat of an outdoor pizza oven seals in moisture while creating a lightly charred, fire-grilled finish, without the need for excess oil. Cooking chicken in a pizza oven delivers bold flavor fast, making chicken skewers an ideal option for healthy pizza oven recipes and outdoor cooking enthusiasts looking for nutritious meals.
To cook chicken skewers in a propane pizza oven, cut chicken into even pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor. Preheat your Turpone pizza oven fully, then place skewers on a cast-iron pan or grill rack inside the oven. Turn every 1–2 minutes for even cooking, keeping skewers closer to the oven opening to control heat. This method ensures juicy, perfectly cooked chicken and showcases how versatile pizza oven cooking can be beyond pizza.
