Notes
Make these meatballs gluten-free by using gluten-free golden crackers.
Don’t like spinach? Omit the spinach and you’ll still have a meatball that is out of this world amazing. Just keep in mind that it may yield less meatballs.
Add more Italian spices for a zesty meatball, such as Italian seasoning.
Want it to be cheesy? Top your meatballs with vegan mozzarella cheese, vegan parmesan, or nutritional yeast.
