Who doesn’t like meatballs, right? Another great recipe for picky eaters, where you can sneak in veggies without them ever knowing! Carrots are in season and we have planted a lot of them! The purple carrots are sure fun to eat!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb 3T Ranch grassfed/grass finished ground beef
  • 1 cup Teriyaki sauce – divided – Kinder’s Marinade & Sauce
  • 1/2 cup of shredded carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • 1 & 1/2 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt & 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Sauté shredded carrots, garlic, green onions, ginger and onion until translucent. TIP: if your veggies are browning too quickly, you can pour in 1/4 cup of water to continue sautéing the veggies. I use this trick all the time.
  • Let the vegetables cool down.
  • In a mixing bowl combine your sautéed vegetables, egg, ground beef, 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and breadcrumbs. Don’t forget salt and pepper. Gently mix it all to combine, you don’t want it to over mix it.
  • Use small ice cream scoop to measure out your meatballs, so they bake evenly.
  • Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and load up with meatballs.
  • Bake in the oven 20-25 minutes.
  • Once your meatballs are out of the oven, put them in pan and pour over the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup of teriyaki sauce. Just depends on how much sauce you would like.
  • Serve with fried rice and sprinkle with some extra green onions for color.
