A classic salad with the addition of perfectly seasoned lamb meatballs and hearty roasted sweet potato make this the perfect main course dish, anytime of year.
In a bowl, mix together the seasonings, eggs, bread crumbs, onion and garlic. Add the meat and mix until evenly distributed.
Shape into even sized balls. You can make these as large or small as you desire. I personally like to have larger meatballs for this recipe, about 2.5" in diameter. The important thing here is to make them all an even size so that they all cook in the same amount of time.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone mat or aluminium foil. Place meatballs on the cookie sheet.
Sweet Potato Chunks
Peel the sweet potato and cut into even sized chunk. I find ½" pieces to work best with this recipe.
Toss the cut up pieces in a bowl with canola oil and seasonings.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, aluminium foil, or a silicone mat.
Bake
Place both the meatballs and the sweet potato chunks in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, being sure to turn the meatballs and sweet potato pieces over half way through.The Meatballs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 170°FThe Sweet potatoes are done when they are fork tender.Be sure to check your potatoes and meatballs when you go to flip them as cooking times vary based on the exact size of the potato chunks and meatballs.
Prepare Salad

Top with Meatballs and sweet potatoes.
Sprinkle feta cheese evenly over top of the platter or each plate. Add a one tablespoon dollop of tzatziki to each plate or a large one in the middle of the platter. Serve and Enjoy
