Recipe Notes
How to Use Frozen Meatballs
If your pineapple teriyaki meatballs have been frozen, there is no need to thaw them before making this recipe. Add the cooking oil to the skillet as directed but add 1/4 cup of water to the pan. Then add the frozen meatballs to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 5 minutes and then uncover.The water will steam the meatballs and help them to thaw. Once the water evaporates, the meatballs will brown in the cooking oil. Proceed as directed.
Roasted Vegetables
You can use any mix of roasted vegetables your family loves but a chopped red bell pepper, onion, and broccoli are our favorites.Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the chopped veggies in a drizzle of olive oil and spread in an single layer on a large baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes or until the vegetables have crispy edges.
