1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2. Cut bell peppers into square pieces and slice zucchini into thick coins. Halve cherry tomatoes if large.

4. On short skewers or toothpicks, thread 1 meatball, 1 piece of zucchini, 1 bell pepper piece, and 1 cherry tomato. Repeat layering if space allows.

Make sure to fully thaw meatballs before baking for even heating.
Switch up the veggies based on season or preference—mushrooms and red onion work great too.
