Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise, then slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Trim, peel and cut carrots on a diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Trim, peel and cut parsnip on a diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Roughly chop parsley. Quarter Gouda cheese slices.
2. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, apricot jam and Sriracha; set aside as glaze.
3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter (4 tablespoons for 4 servings), garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until butter melts, 30-45 seconds. Stir until combined. Add potatoes, carrots, parsnip and parsley; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Transfer vegetables to one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet (for 4 servings, spread across entire sheet). Roast on top rack for 5 minutes. Wash out the bowl.
5. In the same bowl, soak panko with pork ramen stock concentrate and 1 tablespoon water (2 tablespoons for 4 servings); stir until pasty. Add ground pork, fry seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt (1 teaspoon for 4) and pepper; mix to combine. Form into two ½-inch-thick rounds (four rounds for 4). Place Gouda pieces in center of each round; fold meat around cheese, sealing to create 1-inch-tall loaves.
6. Remove baking sheet from oven after 5 minutes. Place meatloaves seam-side down on the empty side of the sheet (for 4 servings, use a second lightly oiled baking sheet for meatloaves). Transfer half the glaze to a small bowl for later; brush meatloaves with remaining glaze. Roast on top rack for 13 minutes (for 4, roast meatloaves on middle rack).
7. Remove sheet from oven; brush meatloaves with reserved glaze. Return to oven and roast until meatloaves are cooked through and glaze is tacky, 2-3 minutes more.
8. Divide vegetables and meatloaves between plates. Serve.
