over a Sesame-Ginger Veggie Jumble
- Sesame
- Soy

Our chefs add tons of flavor to tender pork meatballs with a delectable soy glaze swirled with tangy-sweet hoisin sauce that you’ll brush over during the last few minutes of roasting. The meatballs are served over a jumble of roasted sweet potatoes and tender green beans seasoned with ginger and scallion, and sprinkled with nutty, crackly sesame seeds for a hearty, colorful meal that tastes every bit as delectable as it looks.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter sweet potato lengthwise; cut into ½-inch-thick pieces. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim green beans if necessary. Trim and cut scallions into 1-inch pieces. • In a large bowl, soak panko with 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4); let stand until absorbed (you’ll use in the next step).
• Toss sweet potato, ginger, and sesame seeds on one side of prepared sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.) Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then). • Meanwhile, to bowl with panko mixture, add pork*, garlic powder, onion powder, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1¼ tsp for 4), and pepper and gently mix to combine. • Form into 6 evenly sized meatballs (12 meatballs for 4).
Swap in beef for pork.
• Once sweet potato has roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Place meatballs on opposite side of sheet. (For 4 servings, add meatballs to a second sheet.) • Carefully add green beans and scallions to sweet potato; toss to combine. • Return to top rack and roast until meatballs are cooked through, 11 minutes. (For 4, roast meatballs on middle rack and veggies on top rack, swapping positions halfway through.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sweet soy glaze and hoisin until combined.
• Once veggies and meatballs have cooked 11 minutes, remove sheet from oven. (For 4 servings, leave veggies roasting on middle rack.) • Carefully brush meatballs with hoisin glaze. Return to top rack until glaze is tacky and veggies are tender, 3-5 minutes more.
• Divide gingery sweet potato and green bean jumble between shallow bowls; top with hoisin-glazed meatballs. Serve.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Best one meal we've had in a while! This one is easy and full of flavor. The ginger and sesame tossed with the veggie medley was delicious and the hoisin/sweet soy glaze on the juicy Turkey meatballs took it to the next level. Will get this again!
This recipe came together very well. Because I am trying to reduce my meat consumption, I blended in a grain/lentil combination with the meat along with some of the ginger that I reserved. Worked just fine. Good for people who are trying to cut down on meat. Also, the recipe says pork meatballs which made me think I either got or ordered the wrong meat.
Very very easy to make. Very tasty. And I loved the fresh ginger and sesame seeds added to the roasted vegetables. This recipe is now in my top 10
Loved the spicy glaze for the meatballs & the combination of sweet potatoes, green beans & scallions! Super meal & quick to fix!
Cook time on veggies needs to be just a little longer before the meatballs are added to soften them a touch more. Maybe add the beans to the other veggies and cook another 5-10 mins before adding meatballs and continuing with the recipe. It tasted really good, but the slightly to hard veggies took away from it.
I saved this and it was worth the wait!!! I was a little sceptic about pork only meatballs but I wanted to keep the recipe profile and the flavor dynamic was amazing!!!
The meal was very good tasting BUT it was so small. It fit into a small bowl and was not enough for a meal by itself. Meatballs were Great and were a good size, it was the rest of this meal that was not enough.
Although the flavors were good, there was definitely too much ginger and sesame seeds. Most of which remained on the sheet pan. This meal was very good. I do think next time I will ELIMINATE the ginger.
Meatball size should be reduced to make 22 vs. 6 to cook in 11 minutes OR state cook at least 11 minutes on each side
Simply delicious! The veggies and meatballs are so favorable! So easy to put together ❤️
