vegan meatballs

Meatless savory orbs

Vegan meatballs are plant-based alternatives to traditional meatballs, typically made from legumes, grains, vegetables, or meat substitutes shaped into spheres.

They appear in the same dishes as their meat counterparts—pasta, subs, Swedish meatball plates: The restaurant's vegan meatballs were surprisingly good.

The name cheerfully embraces its own contradiction.
