Beyond Beef® Vegan Meatballs image

These plant-based meatballs with spinach, nutritional yeast, and vegan bread crumbs deliver lots of flavor. We like more of a crunchy, dry meatball so these are baked in the oven without sauce but they can be simmered on the stovetop in marinara sauce, as well. Store cooked meatballs in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
2 tablespoons water
2 (16 ounce) packages Beyond Meat® Beyond Beef® plant-based ground
¾ cup nutritional yeast
¾ cup vegan bread crumbs (such as Aleia's)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine frozen spinach and water in a 1-quart microwave-safe casserole dish. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Break up any clumps with a fork and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer to a colander to drain. When cool enough to handle, squeeze small handfuls of spinach to release remaining water and place spinach in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add Beyond Beef®, nutritional yeast, bread crumbs, tomato paste, minced garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the spinach. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Roll into 1 1/4-inch diameter meatballs.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven. Working in batches, add about 12 meatballs and cook, turning often and being careful not to burn, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meatballs to the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with remaining batches.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the mixture and they were delicious.

I had a hard time finding Beyond Beef at my local grocery store. I ended up using another brand of plant-based ground beef and the meatballs still turned out great.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasonings next time.

I had some trouble getting the meatballs to hold together. I think I might have needed to cook them for a bit longer.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more liquid to the mixture next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the meatballs still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of breadcrumbs and I added a bit of chili powder for some extra spice.
