Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for vegetables)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, milk, and olive oil. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- Form into 1.5-inch meatballs and place on one side of the sheet pan.
- In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the other side of the pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping the meatballs halfway through, until cooked through and golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the chimichurri sauce (see below).
- Serve meatballs and vegetables drizzled with chimichurri or with it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use a mix of beef and pork for extra flavor in the meatballs.
- Leftover chimichurri can be refrigerated for up to 5 days—great for eggs or grilled meats!
- You can substitute other vegetables like zucchini or broccoli for variety.
