Instructions

Creating Barbecue Meatball Bowls with Avocado Goddess Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form the Meatballs: Use your hands to shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake the Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

5. Prepare the Barbecue Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the barbecue sauce over medium heat. Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the saucepan and toss to coat evenly.

6. Make the Avocado Goddess Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

7. Prepare the Grains: Cook your chosen grains according to package instructions while the meatballs are baking.

8. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, place a base of cooked grains, then top with fresh greens, followed by the barbecue meatballs.

9. Add Vegetables: Add any chopped vegetables you like on top of the meatballs.

10. Drizzle with Sauce: Finish by drizzling the Avocado Goddess Sauce over the assembled bowls for a burst of flavor.
