  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • Step 2

    In a high-power blender, combine roasted peppers, garlic, basil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cashews, and water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Blend the mixture on high until well blended and smooth. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    Combine the zucchini, yellow squash, and onions in a 9x9 casserole dish (or similar size). Season vegetables with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet and quickly sear on all sides, about 3-4 minutes total.

  • Step 5

    Transfer the meatballs to the casserole dish and pour the red pepper sauce over the meatballs and the vegetables.

  • Step 6

    Bake 25-35 or until the meatballs are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Meatballs are fully cooked when the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.

  • Step 7

    Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and feta, if desired. Serve over cooked brown rice or cauliflower mash for a low carb option.
