- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

for the Bowls
- 6 cups cooked basmati rice 2 cups uncooked

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl. Using your hands, mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, scoop the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet (recipe makes approximately 20 meatballs). Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Meatballs will be golden.
While the meatballs are cooking, assemble the bowls. Place a scoop of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with the veggies. Add the meatballs, then drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce over each bowl. Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
