Sweet and Sour Vegetarian Meatballs Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a sheet pan that has sides or an oven-safe casserole dish. In a large mixing bowl, mix together first nine vegetarian meatball ingredients, using 2 tablespoons of the onions and 1/4-teaspoon sage. Once thoroughly combined, roll into 1 to 2-inch balls. The mixture should yield approximately 16-18 vegetarian meatballs. Place them in the oiled pan and bake for 15 minutes. Turn them, and bake another 15 minutes. While the vegetarian meatballs are baking, mix together remaining sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, using reserved 1 tablespoon onion and 3/4 teaspoon sage. After the vegetarian meatballs have baked for 30 minutes, coat them with the sauce and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm.
