Veggie lovers unite! Beginning Friday, the furniture mega store, IKEA, is providing more sustainable food products to their customers, and we're really excited about their new meatballs, minus the meat, that is. The recipe for the vegan balls will change three times a year to include seasonal produce.
The current veggie balls are made with chickpeas, green peas, carrot, corn, kale and red pepper. They are soy, gluten, diary, and GMO-free and will be served with a roasted cauliflower and sweet potato sauce.
IKEA stayed mum on their recipe, so we did some digging to find a few delicious options for you to make your own veggie balls at home, if you're as excited about them as we are. Here are three delicious vegetarian options.
