Easy Roast Vegetables and Meatballs

Preheat oven to 400 F/200 C.

Combine the beef with diced bacon, half the salt, half the pepper, onion powder and garlic powder (add more seasoning to taste). Make walnut size balls, set aside.

Half the potatoes if you think they are too big to cook in 30 minutes. Cut the peppers (remove stem and seeds first), courgettes and aubergine into chunks. Spread all of the veg on a baking tray. Scatter the veg with Italian herb mix, the rest of the salt and pepper and smoked paprika. (Add more if you think it isn’t enough). Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned veg and toss until all the vegetables are nicely covered in oil and spices. Place the meatballs amongst the vegetables.

Bake at 400 F/200 C for about 30 minutes or until the meat and potatoes are done.
