Simple to make, comprised of the most humble ingredients, but full of beautiful nostalgic Thanksgiving flavors. Slightly sweet, fragrant, crispy on the outside, and moist on the inside. I will definitely be making these again!
I kept the flavors simple here, and *confession* this may be the only savory dish I have made in years that had no garlic OR onion. I often find myself thinking: “You know what would make this better? Garlic!” But not this time. The subtle sweet potato and sage flavors just couldn’t compete. Against all of my instincts – I put down the garlic press. I stepped away from the onions. It was hard folks. I love me some garlic. I digress. Back to the recipe.
These are a healthy treat at only 200 cals for 7 small meatballs. The fat content is kept quite low by baking instead of frying, and bonus – no pesky oil spots to clean! I spritzed the top of each meatball with my favorite cooking spray and it acted as a “faux-fry” in my oven. The finished product was a glistening, crispy meatball that could have passed for pan fried any day.
I served these with a spinach and apple salad, and some home made biscuits. Yum!
