Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.
- Toss carrots with olive oil (portion for carrots), honey, and paprika. Season with some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan.
- Roast carrots, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. (Note: If you are short on time, microwave the carrots on high until starting to turn tender, 4 to 5 minutes and finish them in the oven for ~15 minutes.)
- When carrots are nearly finished roasting, heat a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then meatballs to heated oil. Gently saute meatballs until brown on all side. Add stock and cover pan. Reduce heat to low-medium. Steam meatballs until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Toss kale with dressing, adding a bit at a time until dressed to your liking. Toss with sesame seeds.
- Serve meatballs over kale with carrots on the side. Enjoy!
