A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy BBQ-glazed meatballs and tender roasted baby potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley if using. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs, about 18-20 in total.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. Spread potatoes on one side in a single layer and place meatballs on the other side with space between each.
  6. In a small bowl, mix BBQ sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
  7. Brush the BBQ glaze generously over each meatball, allowing some to drip onto the potatoes.
  8. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip meatballs and potatoes gently, brush meatballs again with BBQ glaze, and roast for another 10-15 minutes until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and potatoes are tender with crispy edges.
  9. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, spoon any remaining BBQ sauce over the meatballs for extra glaze.
  10. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Use a meat thermometer to check meatballs reach 160°F. For gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free panko and use gluten-free BBQ sauce. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
