These sweet and spicy meatballs can be served as an appetizer or part of a simple dinner. Maple syrup, sweet chili sauce, and soy sauce, simmered until sticky, makes an amazing sauce. No doubt you will be adding these to your list of repeat meals! Enjoy!
Meatballs:
1-lb bulk sausage (mild, hot, or maple)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 C. panko breadcrumbs
1/4 C. maple syrup
Sauce:
1 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce
1/2 C. maple syrup
3 Tbsp. soy sauce (I use coco aminos sauce)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the sausage, egg, breadcrumbs and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Mix until fully combined but not overworked. Shape into small meatballs about 1-1/2 inches and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until the meatballs are browned and cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Place the chili garlic sauce, maple syrup, and soy sauce into a large pan and turn on low. Stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened. Add meatballs and carefully stir to coat.
