For me, this has comfort food vibes but is healthy at the same time! Take some help from the store with the glaze, jasmine rice, and cauliflower rice and you’ll have this on the table in no time. This is also a great prep ahead and re-heat item and is easy to pack leftovers for lunch the next day.

Balsamic Glazed Meatballs w/ Jasmine & Cauli Rice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil and grease lightly so meatballs don’t stick.
In a medium to large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the glaze.
Roll into 12 meatballs and arrange on sheet pan. Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
Remove and flip meatballs over and bake another 10 minutes.
Remove and set oven to broil. Glaze one side of meatballs and return to broil for 2 minutes.
Remove and glaze the other side. Return to broil for 2 minutes.
While you’re cooking the meatballs, prep your rice. I used store bought frozen jasmine rice and riced cauliflower. Defrost and heat according to directions. Combine with remaining ingredients and toss.
Assemble your dish by placing a few meatballs on top of or next to your rice.
