Notes

These vegetarian baked balls are so juicy and tender… and the good news is that these meatless balls can taste just as delicious as their meaty counterparts. And this recipe doesn’t require hours of prep! It’s so simple – grate, chop, mix, roll & bake!

Serve as a vegetarian option to top your favourite pastas, or maybe with some stir-fried garlic greens, or why not simply as starter dish with a side dipping sauce.
