Instructions
Meatball Instructions
- Set oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with avocado oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients except for chicken until a paste forms.
- Add your chicken and work mixture into the meat. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure, form meatballs and arrange evenly on baking sheet. If the meatballs are sticking while rolling, just dip your fingers in water.
- Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. For a more golden colour, bake on convection, or carefully broil the top for about a minute.
Sauce Instructions
- Add maple syrup, tamari, and sesame oil into a pan over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, add your garlic. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add meatballs to pan and coat in sauce. Alternatively, you can serve the sauce on the side. Top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onion.
