Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 pound button mushrooms, thinly chopped
  • 1 1/4 cup O Organics Stone Ground Crackers
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Signature SELECT Ground Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon chia eggs
  • 8 ounce Signature SELECT Jellied Cranberry Sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a food processor, pulse the toasted walnuts until finely chopped. Add the mushrooms, crackers, ketchup, soy sauce, dried onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and chia eggs. Pulse the mixture until it comes together, but still has some texture.

3. Roll the meatball mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake the vegan meatballs for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway, until they are firm and lightly browned.

5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the cranberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the jellied cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.

6. Once the meatballs are baked, toss them in the cranberry sauce until they are evenly coated.

7. Serve the Vegan Cranberry Meatballs warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite side dish. Enjoy the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors in every bite!

Notes

To ensure your Vegan Cranberry Meatballs turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

Texture is Key: Pulse the meatball mixture just until it comes together, but still maintains some texture. Overpulsing can result in a dense, compact meatball.

Gluten-Free Option: If you need a gluten-free version, swap the O Organics Stone Ground Crackers for gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.

Serving Suggestions: Serve these meatballs as an appetizer, or pair them with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish for a more substantial meal.

Storing and Reheating: Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
