Ginger Sesame Meatballs

Each meatball in this recipe is packed full of flavour with crunchy ginger, spring onions, garlic, mint, coriander and pieces of shredded carrot. Using only 2 tablespoons of almond flour ensures the meatballs remain juicy and tender and won’t dry out, even if you accidentally let them bake for a few minutes too long. Brushing the meatballs with sauce half way through baking not only enhances the flavour but also gives them a beautiful golden glaze and helps the sesame seeds stick to the sides.

The slightly sweet sauce can be served alongside the meatballs for dipping at a cocktail party, or poured over the meatballs and served with cauliflower rice as a hearty dinner. These meatballs are incredibly easy to make and require less than 20 minutes to prepare. I recommend making an extra batch to store in the freezer as these are great to have on hand for unexpected guests or an impromptu pot luck.
