Before you start

Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7
Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
Pull out a peeler, a large bowl & 2 small bowls

Sweet potato time

Thinly slice the sweet potato into 1/2cm thick discs (peel optional)
Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt
Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Roast the meatballs & broccoli

Trim and halve the broccoli widthways. Finely slice the garlic
In the large bowl, combine the beef, ground coriander, half the chipotle, a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix and form into 12 even-sized meatballs
Place onto the other lined tray with the broccoli and garlic alongside. Toss the broccoli with 1/2 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 15 mins, until golden and cooked through

Meanwhile, make the tomato salsa

Quarter the tomatoes. Roughly chop the fresh coriander. Thinly slice the spring onions
Add everything to a small bowl, then squeeze in the juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Set aside

Make the chipotle lime dressing & plate up

Thinly slice the avocado
In the other small bowl, mix the remaining chipotle with the juice from the remaining lime and 1 tsp oil
Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
Share the meatballs between bowls, with the sweet potato, avocado, salsa and broccoli alongside. Drizzle over the chipotle lime dressing
