Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, onions, breadcrumbs, baking soda, fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Toss potato wedges with olive oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and oregano on another baking sheet.
Bake both the meatballs and potatoes for 25–30 minutes until cooked through.
While they bake, mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill or mint to make tzatziki sauce.
Assemble your bowls starting with lettuce at the base, followed by roasted potatoes and meatballs topped with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice before serving.
