SHEET PAN BAKED MEATBALLS AND VEGETABLES (ITALIAN-STYLE)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and position a rack in the center.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetables, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 extra virgin olive oil and toss to combine. Transfer the vegetables to a large lightly oiled sheet pan and spread them out.
• In the same large bowl, combine the meat, onions, garlic, parsley, oregano, mint, Parmesan, bread crumbs and egg. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil (about 1 tbsp). Mix until everything is well-combined. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and lightly press the center of the meatballs with your thumb (do not completely flatten).
• Arrange the meatballs (or patties) in the same sheet pan with the vegetables. Pour the canned tomatoes all over. Season with kosher salt and drizzle the top of the tomatoes generously with extra virgin olive oil.
• Cover the sheet pan with foil and bake in the heated oven for about 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
