Quick And Easy Blueberry And Basil Meatballs
The ingredients for the Blueberry And Basil Meatballs are quite simple. You could even play around with your ingredients.
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef (minced beef)- 6- ounce organic or wild blueberries - , rinsed and patted dry
1 small sweet potato - grated (skin on, about 5 ounces)
2 tablespoons dried basil - or ⅓ cup fresh, minced
1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder - or 1 fresh clove, pressed
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil - or melted fat of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse together beef, grated sweet potato, herbs, and salt until combined and blueberries are broken up. Do not overprocess.
- Form the meat mixture into even-sized meatballs (I use an ice cream scoop because we like large meatballs) and place them on prepared sheet pans. Continue until the mixture is gone.
- Drizzle meatballs with melted fat and bake for 15 minutes, then swap the pans on racks. Continue baking for another 15 or so minutes until the meatballs are a deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.
- Serve immediately. Cool the rest before storing it in the fridge or freezer.
