Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1.25 pounds ground pork (or any ground meat)
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup bbq sauce
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp oil
- paprika
- cayenne pepper (optional)
Instruction
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, egg and breadcrumbs and mix with hands until well combined.
- Form into balls. (I usually make 12-14).
- Place bbq sauce in a small bowl. One at a time, dip meatballs in bbq sauce and turn until well coated. Place on greased, foil-lined baking sheet.
- Slice sweet potatoes fairly thin. I usually aim for about 1/4 inch slices. Place in a large bowl, add oil and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle on both sides with paprika (and optional cayenne pepper).
- Place both baking sheets in oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove trays one at a time and flip sweet potatoes and meatballs. Bake another 10 minutes or until meatballs reach 165 degrees.
- If desired, you can bake the sweet potatoes an additional 5 minutes to get them a little more “roasted” but they should be fine either way.
- Serve with additional bbq sauce for dipping!
