step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare & roast the potatoes

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges. Transfer to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 27 to 29 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, peel the carrots; halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the ketchup and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

3 Start the meatloaf

Evenly coat one side of the remaining sheet pan with a drizzle of olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the pork, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic paste, tomato paste, half the breadcrumbs (you will have extra), and half the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently mix until just combined. Transfer to the oiled side of the sheet pan. Shape into a tightly packed loaf, about 10 inches by 3 inches. Transfer half the spicy ketchup to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Evenly top the meatloaf with the remaining spicy ketchup. Roast 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

4 Finish the meatloaf & roast the carrots

Meanwhile, place the carrot pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Reserving the bowl, carefully transfer the seasoned carrots to the other side of the sheet pan of partially roasted meatloaf. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the meatloaf is cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Let the meatloaf rest at least 2 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for pork.

5 Finish the potatoes & serve your dish

Carefully transfer the roasted potatoes to the reserved bowl. Add the salsa verde; stir to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer the rested meatloaf to a cutting board. Carefully slice crosswise. Serve the sliced meatloaf with the finished potatoes and roasted carrots. Top the meatloaf with the reserved spicy ketchup. Garnish the carrots with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
