Vegan meatballs are a plant-based alternative to traditional meatballs, crafted using ingredients like legumes (lentils, chickpeas), grains (quinoa, oats), vegetables, and seasonings for added flavor. Often inspired by Italian cuisine, they bring the savory, herby taste of classic meatballs without the use of animal products. High in fiber and protein, they provide essential nutrients while being lower in saturated fat and cholesterol compared to their meat-based counterparts. Many recipes are fortified with ingredients like flaxseeds or chia seeds for added omega-3 fatty acids. However, depending on preparation, some store-bought versions may contain higher sodium levels, so checking labels is key. These versatile meatballs can be baked or pan-fried for a crispy texture and pair well with marinara sauce, pasta, or as a protein-packed addition to salads and sandwiches. They’re a delicious, heart-healthy option for anyone reducing meat consumption or following a vegan diet.
