Making vegetarian meatballs is so easy. This last week, I pulled out my recipe book and decided to make something fun with my Princess. It is so easy to get stuck in a food rut. So making new foods and getting my Princess to help in the kitchen {which she loves to do} is a fun family time.
Vegetarian meatballs is quick and simple. My 4 year old did most of it. I measured the ingredients and she poured and mixed.
Rolling the gooey mixture is fun even for mommy. I had to help my Princess with the first couple, but she got the hang of it pretty quickly. Then it was a race for who could roll the most!
Place them on a sheet pan and stick ’em in the oven for 30 minutes.
They come out yummy and hot and ready to serve with gravy over rice, in spaghetti, or simply to dip in to your favorite sauce. My daughter ate them with ketchup, and my husband ate them with BBQ sauce.
- 1 C nuts, ground (I used walnuts. Pecans are also good.)
- 1 C bread crumbs
- 1 C grated cheese
- 1 C cracker crumbs
- 1 t sage
- 1 t salt
- 1 T soy sauce
- 3 eggs
- 1 onion, chopped (or 1 t onion powder)
- Mix all ingredients
- Make into balls
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
I want to give a big thank you to Mrs. Blythe for giving us this recipe four years ago. My husband loved it when she cooked it so she gave us the recipe. We still love it, Mrs. Blythe.
Do you have a favorite vegetarian recipe that you make at home?
great recipe!
They look nice, but unfortunately for me I am allergic to nuts 🙁 It’s always fun when their are recipes you can do with the kids though.
Thanks LaVonne, I’ve been looking for a great Vegetarian meatball recipe! I bet this would even be yummy cooked in some bell peppers!!
Awesome. I am not usually intrigued by vegetarian recipes, but just the fact that they are “meat”balls makes me want to try it 🙂
That is pretty cool and I love that your daughter is helping
No way! I so have to make these. I never knew you could make a veggie meatball. They look so good!
Yum! Those look Ah-Mazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Yum! Sounds like the perfect alternative to our turkey meatballs.

Awww you had me until nuts! I am looking for a great vegan hamburger/meatball mixture, but we have to be tree nut free here because of allergies. I bet they are good
This is a nice looking alternative to the meat version. Thanks for sharing.
They sound like they would be delicious!

Place in 9×13, cover with tomato sauce, bbq sauce and orange marmalade in equal amounts, or chili sauce and grape jam in equal amounts. Yummy!
Wow these are so simple and easy to make, love that you had your little one helping you, I love when my kids want to cook with me.
These sound delicious. Thank you for sharing vegetarian recipes.
I can substatute cashew cheese and make it vegan. My niece will love it.
I’m not a big fan of meat meatballs. Maybe these would be better. They look good anyway.
