You can store these meatballs well-sealed in the fridge for at least 3-4 days, or alternatively, freeze them.

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version, or substitute breadcrumbs with chickpea flour or certified gluten-free oat flour.

If you want to get meatballs with a melting heart, add a cube of smoked scamorza or mozzarella inside.

If you want to prepare completely vegan chickpea meatballs, try our egg-free chickpea meatballs which can be cooked in an air fryer, oven, or pan. Once cooked, add them to the tomato sauce as illustrated in this recipe.
