Bahn Mi Meatballs & Garlicky Green Beans

These flavor packed Bahn Mi Meatballs and Garlicky Green Beans come together in one amazing sheet pan dinner that can go from fridge to table in about 45 minutes. The meal stands alone, but would pair nicely with white rice or our Cilantro Cauliflower Rice.

The meatballs are packed with traditional Bahn Mi sandwich ingredients like grated daikon radish and carrots.

Green beans are added halfway through cooking so they retain a bit of their signature crunch. While the meatballs do contain sriracha and peppers, they are pretty mild (and toddler approved).
