Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your sweet potato[es] (skin on) into wedges

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces

Step 1
2.

Add the sweet potato wedges to a large baking tray (or two!) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 10 min or until the wedges are starting to crisp

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, peel and cut your red onion[s] in half

Dice half the red onion[s] finely

Cut the remaining onion into wedges

Peel and grate your garlic

Step 3
4.

Combine your mince (remove the paper if required!) with the diced onion, grated garlic and half your soy sauce (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, give everything a good mix up until fully combined and shape into 4 meatballs per person

Step 4
5.

Remove your pineapple from the can (save the juice for later!) and chop roughly

Boil half a kettle

Step 5
6.

Once the potatoes have had an initial 20 min, remove the tray[s] from the oven and add the chopped pepper, onion wedges, chopped pineapple and the meatballs

Return the tray[s] to the oven for a further 15-18 min or until the meatballs are cooked through (no pink meat!) and the potatoes are golden

(Doubled your protein? Do this in batches!)

Step 6
7.

Meanwhile, combine your cornflour with your five-spice mix, the remaining soy sauce, your tomato ketchup, rice vinegar, sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), reserved pineapple juice and 50ml [75ml] [100ml] boiled water in a pot

Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 min or until thickened – this is your sweet & sour sauce

Step 7
8.

Once the meatballs are cooked through, add the sweet & sour sauce to the tray[s] and give everything a good mix up – this is your sticky sweet & sour lean double meatball tray bake

Serve the sticky sweet & sour lean double meatball tray bake with your toasted sesame seeds sprinkled all over

Enjoy!
