- Finely dice the onions and mushrooms to ensure a smooth mixture for the meatballs. This helps them stick together better.
- Cooking the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water adds an extra layer of flavor to the meatballs.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs to help bind the ingredients together.
- Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before forming the meatballs. This will make them easier to shape and less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- To ensure even cooking, make sure all meatballs are similar in size. Use a small ice cream scoop or a spoon to measure out the mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the meatballs for about 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through to get an even, crispy exterior.
