Vegetarian Meatballs

Ok, I have not tried these yet, so if anybody does try them before I do, let me know how they turn out!


1 package firm tofu, drained and crumbled
1 or 2 eggs
1 1/2 - 2 cups Italian bread crumbs or matzo ball mix
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced
4 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 1/2 tbsp virgin olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp ketchup or barbecue sauce
1 tbsp spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1 tsp chipotle chili powder or smoked paprika (optional)
2 tsp parsley
1 tsp basil
3/4 tsp oregano
3/4 tsp rosemary
3/4 tsp thyme
Plenty of fresh ground pepper
1 handful of bacos
3/4 cup ground pumpkin seeds
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp ground sage

Method
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mash all ingredients together with hands in a bowl. Form 3/4 inch balls and place on a well-oiled cookie sheet or casserole dish. Brush or spray with a coat of oil for best results. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, then carefully turn meatballs and recoat with oil as needed. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
