These Mediterranean meatball bowls are a favorite in our house. Sautéed meatballs paired with air-fried sweet potatoes and added to a fresh salad loaded with veggies make for a meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. The meatballs are also perfect for lunch the next day! What I really like is to cook extra meatballs and prepare the salad in separate containers to a have quick and healthy lunch.
