This is my favorite meatball recipe, not just because it tastes amazing but because it’s so easy to make. On a busy day when I don’t feel like cooking from scratch, this one-pot meal can be on the table in 20 minutes or less.
The “crispy sheet-pan meatballs with salsa verde” is a recipe that uses a sheet pan to make crispy and crunchy meatballs. The dish also includes a tomato salad and green sauce.
Meatballs on a sheet pan that are salty, zesty, briney, and oh-so-delicious. Serve with a simple salad and crusty bread, piled high with tzatziki and a dollop of spicy green sauce.

Sheet pan meatballs are nothing new around here. We like being adored by them! They’re usually the simplest choice for straight-off-the-pan sneaks because they’re easy to clean up, there’s no frying mess, and they’re still oven-crisp bliss.
The delightful briney green sauce – prepared with parsley, cilantro, walnuts, capers, garlic, and more – that will go not only inside but also on top of these tiny beauties will make them very juicy and flavorful. Let’s have the finest meatball party in town, shall we? Serve them beside juicy marinated tomatoes, sweep them through tzatziki, douse them in that green sauce, grab a buttery slice of crusty bread, and let’s have the best meatball party in town.
Goodness that is salty, zesty, and briney
This isn’t your average meatball. Not only is the beef top-notch (we used ButcherBox Grass-Fed Grass-Finished – more on that later), but that little green sauce magic concoction in the mix adds a whole new level of flavor with salty brininess from the capers, a little zest from the lemon, and our favorite punch of all punches, the garlic punch. Everything just kind of blends together to give this little guy the most taste. It’s like eating a complete dinner in one mouthful!
And you better believe you’ll keep some of that green sauce to pour over your meatballs, bread, and vegetables of any type. We’re nothing if we don’t eat a lot of sauce.

Sauce verde:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 parsley cup
- 1 cup coriander
- 1/4 cup capers or castelvetrano olives, pitted
- walnuts, 1/2 cup
- a lemon’s juice and zest
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Meatballs on a Sheet Pan:
- 1 egg
- paprika (1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 pound of ground beef (the ButcherBox grass-fed grass-finished ground beef is top-notch)
Extras:
- hunks of rustic bread for serving (I used a baguette)
- tzatziki tzatziki tzatziki (I used store-bought)
- salad of tomatoes to serve (I made this one and threw some cucumbers into it)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a food processor, pulse the garlic, parsley, cilantro, capers, and walnuts until very finely chopped (but not creamy or paste-like — you just want a fine chop!). ( you may also do it by hand). This is the foundation of your taste.
- Half of the flavor foundation should be transferred to a large mixing dish for the meatballs. Toss in the remaining meatball ingredients and fully blend with your hands. Bake for 10-12 minutes after rolling into balls.
- To prepare your sauce, combine the remaining half of the flavor base, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a smaller bowl. If you want more heat, add red pepper flakes. It should resemble a loose pesto or chimichurri in appearance.
- Serve meatballs with a piece of rustic bread and a dollop of tomato salad on a bed of tzatziki. And then sprinkle, dip, and swirl it all in that zesty green sauce! FLAVORS, FLAVORS, FLAVORS! It’s fantastic!
