Ingredients

  • For the meatballs:
  • 8 oz Pure Flavor® Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 cans chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup white rice, cooked
  • 1 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp xanthan gum
  • For the pepper sauce:
  • 8 oz Pure Flavor® Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers, Sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 15 oz can coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • Parsley, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Step 2

Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth and the mixture is thick enough to form meatballs that hold their shape.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into balls using about 2 tablespoons per ball and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the meatballs are baking, blend all the sauce ingredients together and bring to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the meatballs have finished baking, add them to the skillet of roasted pepper sauce to coat. Garnish with parsley.
