Yeast Free Cassava Flour Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sweet, tangy, and deeply savory all at once, these meatballs deliver serious flavor without a single ingredient that could trigger a yeast-related reaction. The sauce is where the magic really happens — pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a clever sweet potato purée come together into something glossy and rich that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. Cassava flour binds the meatballs beautifully, keeping them tender and juicy while standing in for the breadcrumbs that often sneak hidden yeast into traditional recipes. Coconut aminos replace soy sauce throughout, so you get that umami depth without the fermented grain concerns that come with conventional options. The arrowroot slurry thickens the sauce naturally, no cornstarch or mystery additives needed. Searing before baking gives every meatball a caramelized crust that holds up when you toss them in that glossy pineapple sauce. Finish with a handful of sliced scallions and you've got a dish that looks and tastes like a restaurant takeout order — made entirely on your own terms.
