Love these healthy meatballs. We make a big batch and freeze them after they have cooked (without the sauce) and use them as needed (with homemade sweet and sour sauce, with peppers and onions.) We also add 1/4 cup chopped spinach. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for no stick and no mess.
