Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Greek lemon sauce and set aside.
- Cook bulgur according to package instructions and set aside.
- To the sheet pan add the drained/rinsed butter beans, chopped asparagus, olives and chopped zucchini.
- Make the meatballs: Mix together the ground chicken, chopped mint, crumbled feta cheese, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil.
- Once combined, scoop about 2 tbsp at a time and form into meatballs.
- Place the meatballs onto the sheet pan, nestled in between the other ingredients on the pan.
- Drizzle everything on the sheet pan with half of the lemon sauce and reserve the rest.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Once cooked, drizzle the capers and the rest of the lemon sauce overtop of everything. Serve the meatballs and vegetables on top of a bed of cooked bulgur with a side of tzatziki for dipping.
Notes
- Instead of bulgur, serve with another grain of choice like quinoa or rice.
- These meatballs can be made on their own for a delicious meal prep recipe with bulgur.
