Easy Vegan Meatballs (with a subtle BBQ flavor)

August 22, 2021 By Nava Atlas 2 Comments

The tempting flavor note of this recipe for easy vegan meatballs is provided by a double dose of barbecue flavor — sauce and seasoning blend. And because they’re baked, only a little bit of oil is needed. Serve with your favorite pasta dishes or even as a protein-boosting side on the plate with marinara or extra BBQ sauce.

I’ve made these with great success using all of the options listed in this recipe. I’ve tried the whole foods options of lentils, beans, or tempeh; and I’ve also made them with plant-based ground. They’re all good!

Heavenly Vegan Baklava

Baklava, the classic Greek pastry, is made of layers of phyllo pastry drenched in butter and honey. Dreena Burton has created a vegan baklava recipe that’s just as delectable as the original with a few clever tweaks. Here’s what Dreena says about this heavenly dessert:

“One of my all-time favorite treats, baklava is crunchy, sweet, and sticky phyllo layered with a cinnamon-infused nut mixture that always hit the sweet spot! This version is big on flavor without the need for added oil or margarine. While commercial phyllo dough does contain oil, it’s a very small amount. This dessert can be a special occasion treat to impress guests, especially at parties and holidays.”
