Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a small bowl, microwave 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), in 10 sec. increments, until softened. Add the maple syrup; stir well.
Prepare the meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the beef, cheese, ½ the onions, ½ the spices and S&P. Form into 10 meatballs (double for 4 portions) about the size of a golf ball.
Prepare the traybake
On a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower and squash with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Add the meatballs.
Roast the traybake
Drizzle the vegetables with the maple butter. Roast the traybake, 9 to 10 min., until partially cooked. Remove from the oven, stir and add the remaining onions. Roast, 9 to 10 min., until the meatballs* are cooked through and the vegetables are lightly browned and tender. In the final 3 min., add the pecans.
Plate your dish
Divide the traybake between your plates. Bon appétit!
