Sheet Pan Flavor Split: Chipotle Lime Meatballs + Garlic Soy Honey Broccoli

1. Preheat & prep: Heat oven to 450°F. Place an oven-safe rack on a large sheet pan (for less greasy meatballs).
2. Make meatballs: In a large bowl, combine beef, Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Roll into small meatballs (about 1 inch).
3. Load the sheet pan: Arrange meatballs on one side of the rack. Spread broccoli on the other side. Season broccoli with salt & pepper.
4. Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and broccoli edges are crispy (adjust time based on your oven).
5. Make Chipotle Lime Cream Sauce: While it cooks, mix crema, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, and salt in a bowl.
6. Make Garlic Soy Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Finish & serve: Toss broccoli with glaze. Drizzle meatballs with chipotle lime cream.
