Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
On the sheet pan, toss the butternut squash, bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano until evenly coated. Spread into a single layer.
Roast vegetables for 15 minutes to give the squash a head start.
Remove the pan from the oven, gently toss the vegetables, then nestle the meatballs evenly across the pan.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized and the meatballs are heated through.
Top with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve directly from the pan or over rice, farro, or crusty bread.
