Cooking Steps
If you added shredded Cheddar cheese, add to meatball mixture with the egg.
• Place chopped veggies on lined oven tray. Sprinkle over lemon pepperseasoning, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast for 10 minutes. Remove tray from oven and add meatballs. • Roast until veggies are tender and meatballs are browned, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
• When roast veggies have cooled a little, add baby spinach leaves and mustard cider dressing to oven tray and gently toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide roast veggie toss and tomato & herb pork meatballs between bowls. • Top with creamy pesto dressing and flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The creamy pesto dressing, flaked almonds, and roast veggie combination were widely enjoyed, with beetroot adding a natural sweetness that complemented the pork. Some found the tomato and herb seasoning overpowering and very salty, so consider using less than the full amount.
- Ease of prep: Customers appreciated the one-tray oven method, which kept washing up minimal and made the cooking process straightforward.
- Suggestions: Beetroot takes longer to roast than carrot or sweet potato, so cut it smaller or add it to the tray earlier for a more even cook. If the meatballs seem dry, some customers found adding extra vegetables like green beans helped with texture.
- Leftovers: The dish made a satisfying next-day lunch, though some noted the meatballs became dry when not eaten fresh, so reheating with a little extra dressing may help.
- Portions: The recipe provided enough for leftovers, which several customers appreciated as a bonus meal.
