Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Spicy Korean Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey (ensure it's gluten-free)
1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, finely chopped green onions, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the spicy Korean sauce.

Drizzle the spicy Korean sauce over the meatballs, making sure each meatball is coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.

Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.

Serve these gluten-free Spicy Korean Meatballs as a flavorful and fiery appetizer at your next gathering. Enjoy!
