Crispy roasted meatballs and tender vegetables are paired with warm spices that always hit the spot for me. This sheet pan meal would be delicious served in a pita, over rice or salad greens, or just by itself, it’s that yummy! The Green Tahini sauce is addicting and brightens up the flavors beautifully. You’ll want to put this sauce on everything, trust me.   Read: 5 Sheet Pan Meals You Need to Try
