Ingredients
  

Meatballs

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatballs. I like to use gloves and then just use my hands to mix everything together well.
  • Scoop using a roughly 1 ½ -2 tablespoon scoop and roll into balls. It helps to squeeze the mixture tightly in your hands, then roll into the ball.
  • Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all meat has been used. You should get around 16 meatballs, depending on the size.
  • Cut the carrots into matchstick shapes and toss with the oil and salt.
  • Add to the baking sheet and place next to the meatballs.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 and the carrots are fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, prep the cucumber salad by tossing all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.
  • Assemble your bowls with a base of rice and lettuce, then layer on the cucumber salad, meatballs, carrots and top with the tzatziki.

Notes

I used ground beef here but you can use pork, turkey, chicken or whatever you like! You can make these Greek meatballs bowls dairy free by swapping the feta for dairy free feta (or leaving it out) and using a plant-based Greek yogurt in place of the regular.
