Packed full of carrots, spinach, beans, potatoes and a boatload of aromatic spices, these Easy Meatless Veggie Balls are a hit in our house – hoping they will be one in y’alls too!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic diced finely
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 potato boiled and mashed roughly with a fork
  • 1/2 cup kale chopped up
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Add the chickpeas to a food processor or blender and pulse till they are broken up - almost smashed in appearance. Then scoop out the smashed chickpeas into a bowl.
  • Also to the bowl, add in the grated carrot, red onion, garlic, potato, ginger, kale, turmeric, paprika, coriander, almond meal, egg and salt and pepper and mix with a spoon or just get your hands in there.
  • Form into balls and then saute in an oven safe pan/skillet with olive oil until very slightly browned.
  • Then place pan in the oven and bake Veggie Meatless Balls for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
  • Enjoy warm on a bed of sauteed tri-color bell peppers and onions along with sriracha, sambal oleak or simply ketchup.
