Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot into fries. • Place carrot fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the carrot fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, Parmesan cheese and All-American spice blend. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Cook the meatballs in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• While meatballs are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine slaw mix, cucumber, baby spinach leaves, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season. • Divide cheesy pork meatballs, carrot fries and cucumber slaw between plates. • Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many loved the cheesy meatballs, finding them tasty and full of flavour. Some found the seasoning strong; using half the spice blend worked well.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, with one customer's 12-year-old successfully making the meatballs.
- Suggestions: Several suggested adding an egg and breadcrumbs to help bind the meatballs. Some recommended baking or air frying instead of pan-frying.
- Leftovers: A few mentioned the dish tasted even better the next day, though some found the slaw mix less fresh.
- Portions: Some felt the meatball portion was small; adding 50-100g more pork mince would be welcome.
- Carrot fries: Many enjoyed this unique side, though some struggled to achieve crispiness. Adding potato chips was a popular variation.
