Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Form small meatballs, place on baking sheet, and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).
  3. Cut potatoes into wedges and toss with olive oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Roast on a baking sheet for 40-60 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill or mint, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Stir and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In serving bowls, layer lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red onion. Add cooked meatballs and roasted potatoes, drizzle with tzatziki sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs.
