Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 small finely diced onion, 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 8 equal oval patties (rissoles) and place them on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and chunked sweet potatoes and 3 medium peeled and chopped carrots with 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp dried thyme until evenly coated. Spread vegetables on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roast rissoles and vegetables for 25-30 minutes, flipping rissoles halfway through, until the internal temperature of rissoles reaches 160°F and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Serve rissoles hot with roasted vegetables and optional gravy or chutney.
