Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, finely chopped onions, breadcrumbs, baking soda, fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the mixture and form small balls, about the size of golf balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes until browned and cooked through, checking the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  4. While the meatballs bake, cut potatoes into wedges, toss with olive oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 40-60 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill or mint. Stir in olive oil, season with salt, and refrigerate.
  6. Assemble the bowl with layers of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, roasted potatoes, and meatballs, topped with tzatziki sauce.
