These savory, aromatic meatballs are packed with fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions, making them the kind of weeknight dinner that smells incredible the moment they hit the oven. The combination of bright, punchy flavors and a glossy coconut aminos glaze gives them a restaurant-worthy finish that's genuinely hard to resist. For anyone navigating a seeds-free lifestyle, sauces and seasonings are often the trickiest part ā but every element here is built from scratch with clean, straightforward ingredients, so there's nothing hidden to worry about. Arrowroot starch steps in as the thickener for both the meatball mixture and the glaze, keeping everything cohesive and silky without relying on any seed-derived ingredients. The glaze itself ā coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, and fresh ginger ā reduces into something sticky and deeply savory that coats every meatball beautifully. A final scatter of sliced scallion greens adds a pop of color and freshness right before serving. These are equally at home over steamed rice, tucked into lettuce cups, or eaten straight off the pan.
