The Best Vegetarian Meatballs Ever! image

Seriously. I've made these twice within the span of about 10 days. My omnivore bf LOVED these too. The fennel really gives them that authentic italian meatball flavor, so don't omit. Served these with a cranberry glaze on them (Recipe #107450), mashed sweet potatoes, and some kale. Parmesan cheese occasionally contains rennet, so omit if you're a strict vegetarian. Could even keep these warm in a crockpot/slowcooker with the cranberry glaze on top for a fun party/finger food.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, but I loved these meatballs. The mushrooms were very finely chopped, so they weren't overpowering.

I didn't have any bread crumbs, so I used crushed crackers instead. They worked just fine.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. They worked great!

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of mushrooms, lentils, and quinoa, and they were very flavorful.
