Ingredients

  • 16 oz ground beef 90% lean
  • ¼ cup finely ground pita crackers *I used Trader Joe's brand
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup feta cheese finely chopped into small crumbles
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1, lemon juiced and zested, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion divided- 2 tablespoon finely grated and the rest chopped into 1" pieces
  • 2 teaspoon salt divided
  • 2 tsp freshly ground pepper divided
  • 3 zucchini sliced into ½" circles
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 red peppers sliced into ½" chunks
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning recommended: Penzeys Spices
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives drained and pitted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.  Place a cooling rack on top of one of the baking sheets covered in parchment for the meatballs to drain.  Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix lean ground beef, pita cracker crumbs, beaten egg, finely crumbled feta (I use a mini food processor for the cheese and pita crumbs), beaten egg, feta, minced garlic, ½ of the lemon juice (juice of ½ a lemon), ½ of the lemon zest, fresh oregano finely chopped, 3 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoon grated red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.  
  • Mix well, using your hands to thoroughly combine.  
  • Form meatballs into 24, evenly sized, balls.  They should be about the size of a golf ball or slightly larger.  I use a small scoop for this.
  • Place meatballs onto the baking sheet with rack and set aside while you prep the vegetables
  • In another large bowl, combine chopped vegetables, Greek seasoning blend, remaining lemon juice and zest (of ½ the lemon), ¼ cup olive oil, olives, tomatoes and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.  Toss to blend.
  • Spread vegetables onto the remaining two baking sheets.
  • Bake meatballs and vegetables for 18-20 minutes.  It was exactly 18 minutes to perfection in my oven.  

Notes

Each serving contains 3 meatballs.  Macros: Fat- 21 grams, Carbs- 11 grams, Protein- 14 grams.  You can lower the fat by using a leaner beef (92 or 96% lean and low-fat feta cheese) and increase the protein by adding extra meatballs to the individual serving.
