Delicious moist chicken meatballs made with gluten free breadcrumbs and vegan parmesan on top of gluten free pasta and marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken (or turkey)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (or almond flour)
- 1/2 cup dairy free parmesan (see notes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pasta and Marinara
- 1 box gluten free pasta, cooked to box instructions
- 1 jar marinara
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mixed just until combined.
- Take a 1 tablespoon scoop, and form it into a ball with your hands and put onto an oiled 9×13 pan or sheet. This recipe will make roughly 25 meatballs so you can do 2 sheets, 12 on one sheet, and 13 on the other.
- Put both sheets in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 18-25 minutes or until golden brown on top, and when a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
- Cook the gluten free pasta according to the box instructions, pour marinara over the cooked pasta and put the meatballs on top!
- Serve with vegan parmesan on top and freshly chopped parsley.
- Enjoy!
Notes
For dairy free parmesan, you can buy it at the store, but it is really easy to make your own. Just combine 3/4 cup cashews, 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a food processor and grind until very fine. Use 1/2 cup of that mixture for this recipe.
