Gluten-Free Teriyaki Meatballs

Gluten-Free Teriyaki Meatballs

Growing up my dad often made his amazing teriyaki chicken dishes when we had company or were hosting a party.

 

We couldn’t wait to fill out plates with his mouthwatering dish as the smell permeated the house.

 

I took his idea and tweaked it to make Teriyaki Meatballs. I have to say- they were a hit!

 

This is a great weeknight dinner as it cooks up quickly.

 

You can prep the meatballs ahead of time, then cook them at dinnertime. Or cook them completely to later reheat for dinner. You can also freeze a batch for another dinner.

 

Teriyaki meatballs

Serve the meatballs over your favorite spaghetti or pasta, brown rice, quinoa, or a salad.

This is an easy and delicious gluten-free meal to add to your gluten-free recipe rotation.

Enjoy!
