Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a large sheet pan with aluminum foil spritzed with nonstick cooking spray or rubbed with olive oil.
  • Over the sheet pan, place the vegetables for roasting. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and then spread into an even layer.
  • Place the ingredients for the meatballs in a mixing bowl and beat (or mix with your hands) until completely combined.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, divide the meat mixture and shape into balls. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet over the vegetables.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through. 
  • If desired, turn on the broiler and cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, watching closely.
  • Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Serve the meatballs and roasted vegetables on warm pita with Greek cucumber salad, Tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta.

Notes

Freezer Instructions: Once they are cooked, cool your Large Family Sheet Pan Meatball Gyros to room temperature. Place them in a freezer-safe container before putting it in the freezer. Don't forget to add your label! You can leave them in the freezer for at least 3 months before reheating. You can also assemble smaller portions into freezer-safe bags and store them that way to save space. 
To use from frozen: Take your meatballs from the freezer to the refrigerator the day before to thaw completely. When you're ready to reheat, just follow the slow cooker directions above.
