    If I was a vegan, I would have no problem eating this for dinner every night! They almost remind me of eggplant parmesan, in the form of a meatball. This eggplant recipe is great whether youre a vegan or just want to incorporate more plant based foods into your diet. More eggplant recipes I love are Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan, Eggplant Spinach Rollatini and Baked Eggplant Sticks.,Alt=,These meatballs are perfect for all types of diets; vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, clean eating, and gluten-free if you swap the crumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs.,Quick Spiralized Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes,Spaghetti Squash Primavera,Broccoli and Orzo,Red Lentil Soup with Spinach,Grilled Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
