Preparation
1
Start plant-based ground protein meatballs

  • Reserve half the crispy shallots in a small bowl. Set aside. Keep remaining shallots in the package, fold the open side over to close, then using a rolling pin or a heavy-bottomed pan, gently crush crispy shallots in the package until broken into fine crumbs.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Add plant-based ground protein, Thai seasoning and crispy shallot crumbs to a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper, then combine.

Form and roast plant-based ground protein meatballs

  • Roll plant-based ground protein mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
  • When done, toss meatballs with sweet chili sauce in another medium bowl.

3
Prep

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Cut pineapple into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice lime.

4
Make dressing and salad
