For the Vegetables
Directions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees, fan-forced.
In a large, baking pan, combine paprikas, bay leaves, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, onion, garlic and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Add the vegetables, olives and parsley to the tray and stir so that they are well coated. Set aside.
For the meatballs, place all ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the mince. Using a fork, carefully combine all ingredients, making sure not to compress the mixture.
Form small meatballs with your hands, working them only until they are just formed.
Place the meatballs evenly on top of the vegetables in the tray.
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and the vegetables tender.

To Serve
