Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • 1 lb 1lb pork
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 2 tablespoon shredded carrot
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Honey Glaze Sauce

  • ½ cup water
  • ⅓ cup coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon chopped spring onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon collagen peptides (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder + 1 tablespoon water combined thoroughly (“slurry”)

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine meatball ingredients in a bowl. Create 2” balls and place on baking sheet in rows, not overcrowding.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Set to broil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove and serve warm with dipping sauce.

Honey Glaze Sauce

  • Combine all the glaze ingredients, except arrowroot slurry, together in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil then lower heat to a steady simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add stirred arrowroot slurry and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes or until desired consistency.

Notes

  • Make sure to roll the meatballs small! It helps create the crispiness you're after.
  • Try not to overbake the meatballs otherwise they'll be dry.
  • The longer you cook down the sauce the thicker it becomes. Make sure to have it on a steady simmer.
  • Instead of serving as an appetizer, do not add starch to the sauce to keep it thinner. Combine with broccoli and/or cauliflower rice for a full meal.
