Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces broccoli florets
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 cup packed baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • sliced fresh green onions for garnish
  • ¼ cup light mayo
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray lightly with oil.
  2. Toss broccoli florets in avocado oil and garlic powder, then arrange them in a single layer around the edges of the sheet pan, leaving space for the meatballs in the center.
  3. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and honey; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded carrots, chopped spinach, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and panko breadcrumbs until well combined.

  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165℉ and the broccoli is golden and crispy.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.
