Sweet Chili Sauce Meatballs
Easy Spicy Pork Meatballs are fantastic as a main dish, appetizer, or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup panko
- 1 jalapeno {ribs and seeds removed, finely diced}
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 green onion {thinly sliced}
- 1/4 cup cilantro {minced}
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic {minced}
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger {grated}
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine. Pro tip: it's easiest to mix using your hands.
- Make uniform-sized meatballs and place them on the baking sheet without allowing them to touch.
- Bake for 15 minutes, and then flip and bake for an additional 8 minutes. Cook until internal temperature is 160 degrees F.
- If you'd like the tops crispy/browned, place under a broiler set to high for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn!
Notes
Makes 16 1 inch meatballs.
Sub in almond flour and use coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce to make these gluten-free.
Add an optional 1/3 cup of grated carrot to the mixture to increase the veggies.
