They are great for dinner served over creamy Polenta, with Mushroom Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs. Serve them as an appetizer, dippers or add them to your favorite pasta dish or easy lunch time soup. Also check out our Beyond Steak tips review, another meat substitute to help get dinner on the table fast.

Ingredients

Ingredients for vegan meatballs in bowls on table
  • Beyond Meat Plant Based Ground -  found in the freezer section of major grocery stores
  • JUST Eggs - acts as a binder and adds moisture
  • Vegan Heavy Cream - we recommend using Country Crock Plant Heavy cream substitute.
  • Breadcrumbs, plain or Italian-style - we using Ian's Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
  • Onion & Bell Pepper - finely chopped 
  • Seasoning - Trader Joe’s Everything But The Leftover seasoning

See recipe card for quantities.

If You Don’t Have Everything But The Leftover Seasoning

Use classic Italian Seasoning blend.


If You Can't Find Beyond Meat Ground

Packages of Beyond Meat in freezer case at grocery store.

We also tested Impossible Burger and Trader Joe’s Turkeyless Ground Meat (this is not a gluten-free option). Both ground meat substitutes work well for this recipe. 

Alternative Cooking Methods

  • Air Fryer  - Set temperature to 400 degrees. Place meatballs on foiled lined cooking tray or basket (depending on type of air fryer). Bake for 10 minutes. Will need to do two batches to cook all of the meatballs.
  • Oven - Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place meatballs on parchment lined baking sheet. Baking for 15 minutes. Flip meatballs over and cook for 5 more minutes for evening browning.
  • Pan Frying  - Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add few tablespoons of high heat oil (we like avocado oil). After the oil is nice and hot add meatballs. Cook on medium low heat until meatballs are golden brown on all sides (approx. 2 min. on each side) and cooked through (approx. 15 min) using tongs to turn them all around.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl add Beyond Meat ground, diced onions, diced peppers, seasonings and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until combined.

Meatball ingredients in glass mixing bowl

Add remaining ingredients. JUST Egg mixture, vegan cream and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until combined.

Measure and roll the mixture into 1 heaping tablespoon. Spray baking sheet with light coating of oil or line baking sheet with parchment paper to keep meatballs from sticking. Evenly space the pieces on the baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the other side or until cooked throughout.

Serve meatballs immediately and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

  • To Store. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • To Freeze. Place cooled cooked meatballs on a baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer for 10 minutes. Once frozen, transfer to a plastic freezer safe ziplock bag. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month. 
  • To Reheat. Reheat meatballs in a skillet for 5-7 minutes or on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
