Sometimes you just need meatballs. Every Italian American knows this to be true. Like moths to a flame, we can’t resist a good old fashioned meatball from Mom’s Sunday sauce. For vegetarians, vegans, and the gluten-freed this poses a teensy problem.

Fortunately, this recipe makes meatballs that are gluten free and meat-free, while still hearty and delicious! Full of veggies like red pepper and kale, and whole grains like quinoa and oat flour, these vegan meatballs are not only healthy, they are crazy good!

Vegans and carnivores alike will love these. And the best part is that the variations are endless! In this recipe I use curry to give it a more exotic flare. You can dice and add your favorite spicy peppers, or whatever veggies fit your mood. Customize the ingredients to make it your own. Get creative – cooking should be fun!

As a side note to vegans…
