Sweet & Tangy Hoisin Pork Meatballs
over a Sesame-Ginger Veggie Jumble
Our chefs add tons of flavor to tender pork meatballs with a delectable soy glaze swirled with tangy-sweet hoisin sauce that you’ll brush over during the last few minutes of roasting. The meatballs are served over a jumble of roasted sweet potatoes and tender green beans seasoned with ginger and scallion, and sprinkled with nutty, crackly sesame seeds for a hearty, colorful meal that tastes every bit as delectable as it looks.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter sweet potato lengthwise; cut into ½-inch-thick pieces. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim green beans if necessary. Trim and cut scallions into 1-inch pieces. • In a large bowl, soak panko with 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4); let stand until absorbed (you’ll use in the next step).
• Toss sweet potato, ginger, and sesame seeds on one side of prepared sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet.) Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then). • Meanwhile, to bowl with panko mixture, add pork*, garlic powder, onion powder, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1¼ tsp for 4), and pepper and gently mix to combine. • Form into 6 evenly sized meatballs (12 meatballs for 4).
• Once sweet potato has roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Place meatballs on opposite side of sheet. (For 4 servings, add meatballs to a second sheet.) • Carefully add green beans and scallions to sweet potato; toss to combine. • Return to top rack and roast until meatballs are cooked through, 11 minutes. (For 4, roast meatballs on middle rack and veggies on top rack, swapping positions halfway through.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sweet soy glaze and hoisin until combined.
• Once veggies and meatballs have cooked 11 minutes, remove sheet from oven. (For 4 servings, leave veggies roasting on middle rack.) • Carefully brush meatballs with hoisin glaze. Return to top rack until glaze is tacky and veggies are tender, 3-5 minutes more.
• Divide gingery sweet potato and green bean jumble between shallow bowls; top with hoisin-glazed meatballs. Serve.
Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
