Sheet Pan Meatballs with Veggies

If you love the flavor of traditional beef kebabs but don’t love all the prep work, this recipe is for you!

I recently wanted to make beef kebabs but only had ground beef on hand. Rather than make a trip to the grocery store, I decided to improvise. The result? These delicious little ground beef meatballs served alongside roasted carrots and squash.

They’re simple, family-friendly, full of flavor, and made entirely on one sheet pan. And if you don’t have carrots and squash, throw on whatever vegetables you do have on hand. That’s my kind of dinner!

I love recipes that take everyday ingredients and turn them into something everyone actually wants to eat. This one is a keeper.
