Tips & variations

Spice Level

Make it less spicy by halving the sriracha and adding an extra teaspoon of honey.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Meal Prep

Shape and freeze the raw meatballs on a tray, then bake straight from frozen for quick weeknight meals.

Substitutions

Swap ground chicken for turkey, and use tamari plus almond flour to keep it gluten free.
