Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Sweet and Sour Balls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with your egg replacer, giving it a good stir until everything is nicely blended.
Step 3
Next, add in the shredded vegan cheese, grated tofu, nutritional yeast, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Mix these ingredients together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bring in some flavor! Stir in the finely chopped onion, crunchy pecans, Italian seasoning, dried basil, and dried sage, ensuring that every bite will be bursting with taste.
Step 6
Gradually sprinkle in enough dry bread crumbs until the mixture reaches a moist, crumbly texture that holds together beautifully.
Step 7
With your hands, shape the mixture into delightful 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange them in an 8-inch baking pan, ready for their flavorful transformation.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, whisk together grape jelly, ketchup, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and oregano to create a luscious sauce that will elevate your meatballs.
Step 9
Pour this vibrant sauce over the meatballs, making sure they are generously coated for maximum flavor.
Step 10
Now, pop the pan into your preheated oven and let them bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 11
Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for this delightful dish to be ready!.
