Greek-style meatball bowl

Juicy and well-seasoned Greek-style meatballs paired perfectly with tzatziki, veggies, and either roasted potatoes or fries—whatever you’re in the mood for!

That’s what I love most about this recipe: it’s totally customizable. You can switch up the sides, double the batch for meal prep, or keep it simple and serve it in a bowl for a quick weeknight dinner. 🍽️

For the meatballs:

  • 255g (9 oz) 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp (9g) minced garlic
  • 1 large egg white or 1 whole egg
  • 1/3 small onion, finely diced (about 40g)
  • 1 tbsp (13g) olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp (7g) breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Optional bowl add-ons:

  • Tzatziki sauce
  • Roasted vegetables (peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, etc.)
  • Fries or roasted potatoes

  1. Prep the meatballs: In a large bowl, add the ground beef, minced garlic, diced onion, egg, breadcrumbs, and all seasonings. Combine until everything is evenly mixed, then roll into 6 small meatballs.

  1. Cook: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and sear until browned on all sides. Add a splash of water to the pan, cover, and let steam for 4–6 minutes until fully cooked through.

  1. Assemble your bowl: Start with a generous spoonful of tzatziki, add the meatballs, your favorite roasted or raw veggies, and a handful of fries or roasted potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon juice if you want an extra kick!

Enjoy!
