Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Meatballs & Broccoli

  • 1 lb frozen cooked meatballs (beef or turkey)
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

For Serving (Optional)

  • Cooked rice or quinoa
  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients: honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    On the prepared baking sheet, combine the frozen meatballs and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat everything.

  4. Step 4

    Pour about half of the honey garlic glaze over the meatballs and broccoli. Toss again until everything is evenly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, stir the meatballs and broccoli, then pour the remaining glaze over everything and toss once more.

  6. Step 6

    Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the meatballs are heated through, the broccoli is tender-crisp, and the glaze is slightly caramelized.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired, often over a bed of rice or quinoa. Enjoy your flavorful and easy meal!

Tips

  • Using frozen pre-cooked meatballs is key for this speedy recipe, but you can use homemade if you prefer.
  • Cut broccoli florets into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be a substitute in the glaze.
