Directions

1. Veggies: Combine broccoli, carrots, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread out on a foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. 2. Meatballs: Combine ground beef, green onions, five spice powder, gingerroot, garlic and soy sauce with a fork in a large bowl; mix just until ingredients are worked evenly into beef (don’t over-mix). Combine cilantro and sesame seeds on a large plate. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls (15 mL) of meat mixture and shape into meatballs. Roll in cilantro and sesame seed mixture to coat. Place meatballs on a rack on another foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet. Discard any excess cilantro-seed mixture. 3. Bake vegetables and meatballs on upper and lower racks in preheated 375°F oven for about 25 minutes, switching pans halfway, or until digital instant-read thermometer inserted into several meatballs reads 160°F (71°C) and vegetables are tender. If vegetables are not tender, remove meatballs from oven and bake vegetables for about 5 minutes longer or until desired doneness. 4. Hoisin Dipping Sauce: Meanwhile, combine hoisin, mayo, Sambal Oelek and sesame oil in a small bowl. 5. Toss meatballs and vegetables together in a large serving bowl and serve Hoisin Dipping Sauce on the side.

Tip

The colour of cooked ground beef is not a reliable indicator of doneness. Use a digital instant-read thermometer as the most reliable way to determine that ground beef meatballs are cooked to the proper doneness.
