  3. In a large bowl, stir the oats into the milk and let soak 5 minutes.

  6. Roll the mixture into about 20 balls and set them on the second pan. Brush them with the remaining olive oil.
  7. Stir the vegetables, then return them to the oven with the meatballs. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are browned and tender and the meatballs reach 165°F (74°C) in the center.
  8. Drizzle the vegetables with the lemon juice, scatter the remaining parsley over the meatballs and vegetables, and serve.
