Directions

  1. sition racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425. Coat one large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line another one with foil.

  2. Combine onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger in a mini food processor. Pulse, scraping down the sides as necessary, until very finely chopped. Heat 1 tbsp peanut or canola oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl and spread into a thin layer. Let cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, toss broccolini and scallions with the remaining 2 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp salt on the sprayed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer.

  4. Add egg, breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp soy sauce and the remaining 1/4 tsp salt to the onion mixture and mix well. Add ground beef and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into four 2×4-inch loaves; place on the foil-lined pan.

  5. Roast the meatloaves on the top rack and the veggies on the bottom rack until cooked through and the veggies are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove both pans from the oven.

  6. Preheat broiler to high. Combine honey, sesame oil, sesame seeds and remaining 2 tsp soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush the meatloaves with the mixture. Broil on the top rack until lightly browned on top, 1 to 2 minutes.
