Instructions

Make the Meatballs: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix all meatball ingredients in a bowl. Form into 1½-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.

Cook the Rice: While meatballs bake, cook rice in broth or water. Once fluffy, stir in lemon juice, zest, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.

Roast Veggies: Toss chopped veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Assemble Bowls: Start with a bed of lemon rice, add meatballs, roasted veggies, tzatziki, olives, cucumber, and a sprinkle of feta.

Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy warm or cold!
