Ingredients 

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 3/4 tsp pepper, divided
  • 4 tsp garlic granules, divided
  • 2 lb ground lamb
  • 1.5 cups finely grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup grated onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup kefir
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 8 cups spring greens

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Add the diced sweet potatoes, avocado oil, ½ tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp garlic granules to the baking sheet, and mix to combine.  Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, and until the sweet potatoes are crispy.
  • Combine the lamb, zucchini, onion, eggs, oat flour, 3 tsp garlic granules, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 pepper until fully combined. Shape into small meatballs, about 2 tbsp mixture each. Place on rimmed baking sheet. You will end up with around 35-40 meatballs. You might need to use 2 rimmed baking sheets, just make sure there's a little space between each meatball.
  • Once all meatballs are shaped, bake for 18 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are baking, make your avocado sauce. Add the avocado, lime juice, kefir, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper into a blender. Blend until combined. Add up to 1/4 cup water if needed to help with blending.
  • To build your meal add 1 cup of greens to a bowl, 1/2 cup roasted sweet potatoes, 4-5 meatballs, and a dollop of the tangy avocado cilantro sauce. ENJOY!
