Legume Free Ginger-Scallion Beef Meatballs

These meatballs hit every note you want — savory, a little sweet, with a bright kick of fresh ginger and the subtle depth of turmeric running through each bite. The glaze is where things really get exciting: coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar come together with honey and a touch more ginger into something glossy and bold that clings to every meatball. For anyone navigating a legume-free lifestyle, soy sauce is usually the first casualty in an Asian-inspired recipe, but coconut aminos step in seamlessly here without any bean-derived ingredients in sight. Arrowroot starch does double duty — binding the meat mixture and thickening the glaze — so there's no need for cornstarch or any flour-based filler. The whole process is straightforward: mix, roll, bake, glaze, and serve. Scallion whites go into the meat for savory backbone, and the green tops get scattered over at the end for a fresh, colorful finish. These are the kind of meatballs that disappear fast, so you might want to double the batch.
