Method
 

Meatball Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, finely chopped onions, breadcrumbs, baking soda, fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cooking Meatballs
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll the chilled mixture into small balls, about 1–1.5 inches in diameter, and place on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 30–40 minutes until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, pan-fry them in a skillet for 10–15 minutes.
Roasting Potatoes
  1. Cut the potatoes into wedges, toss with olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 40–60 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Making Tzatziki Sauce
  1. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
Assembling the Bowl
  1. Start with a base of lettuce in serving bowls. Layer with roasted potatoes, meatballs, and tzatziki sauce, then garnish with extra herbs.
