  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 bunch of broccoli, cut into medium florets
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Big handful of fresh herbs (I used a combination of basil and dill)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, egg, Panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, and minced garlic. Mix well and form into 16 meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for added flavor.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the meatballs for about 15 minutes until cooked through.
  4. On separate baking sheets, toss diced sweet potatoes and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for approximately 25–30 minutes (sweet potatoes) and 20 minutes (broccoli).
  5. For the sauce: Blend avocado with Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, salt, and fresh herbs until smooth.
  6. Serve bowls layered with cooked quinoa or brown rice topped with roasted veggies and meatballs drizzled in avocado sauce.
