Description

Get the young ones to tuck into these veggie-packed chicken meatballs. These healthier meatballs dipped in homemade tomato sauce will go down a treat.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2 of 4

Place mince, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, zucchini and half of the onion in a large bowl. Using damp hands (see Tip), mix well to combine. Roll 2 tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on tray to make a total of 32 meatballs. Spray meatballs with oil. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Instruction tip
Tip:
Using damp hands to mix the mince mixture prevents it from sticking to your hands.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, spray a small saucepan with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook remaining onion for 6 minutes, stirring, or until softened. Add vinegar, tomato and 1/4 cup water, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until tomato has cooked down and sauce has thickened. Season with pepper. Remove pan from heat. Reserve a few basil leaves, then roughly chop remainder and stir into tomato sauce.

Step 4 of 4

Top meatballs with reserved basil and serve with tomato sauce.
