Easy sweet potato meatballs are super easy and done on a sheet pan so less clean up.
When you want something to last all week make this sweet potato meatballs is perfect. Also, less clean up because they are made on a sheet pan. I make double batch of these and eat them for lunch and dinner. I use some to put in a pita with hummus and cucumbers and others top with marinara to eat with a salad for dinner. The best part is it only takes 2 sweet potatoes to make this recipe and lots of pantry items. Hope you love this as much as I do!
As you chop listen to the chopping sound, as you stir say what you are grateful for, and as you let the food cook read a gratitude book for self care.
Using This Recipe As Many Things:
- In a pita with hummus and veggies
- Top with pesto and a salad for dinner
- Make a veggie meatballs sub and top with lots of cheese
- With your eggs for breakfast
Happy cooking and I am always grateful to cook with you! Any questions feel free to comment or check me out on Instagram and Tiktok: @chophappy!
