I know, I know I do have a slight obsession with Sweet Potato, but that's because they are so darn good and really versatile in so many recipes. So you are just going to LOVE these Pork and Sweet Potato Meatballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were actually one of those crazy moments in the kitchen when you have some ingredients you need to throw together and combine them to make a yummy and delicious meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I was actually making my Sweet Potato Sausage rolls<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and had quite a bit of ground pork left, and well the sausage rolls are so tasty I thought why not add some sweet potatoes to the ground pork for meatballs. It was actually a stroke of genius, as the sweet potato keeps the meat moist. Extra Lean ground meat has a tendency to be really dry, and well these were not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am going to offer two suggestions for a sauce for these - Hoisin and Sweet Chilli. I tried them with both sauces and either go together really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I served with rice and stir fried veggies, but you really could pair this up with what ever you want, including my perfect chips<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am wondering how well these will work with some butternut squash too, for some added speed and will be trying that next time (do let me know if anyone gives that a go).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take these Pork and Sweet Potato meatballs along with you on a picnic or in a packed lunch. Great for some protein and a high satiety snack and delicious served hot or cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't fancy pork? Try these with ground chicken or beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are gluten free, paleo and Whole30 friendly when served without the sauces (for a gluten free sauce alternative use tamari or coconut aminos, with some ginger and garlic and a little starch like arrowroot or tapioca flour  to thicken)
