Gardein
The always-vegan brand Gardein is a freezer-aisle favorite. And the Plant-Based Meatballs hold up the cruelty-free brand’s reputation! While they taste great in a variety of creative preparations, we love to serve ours over roasted spaghetti squash with plant-based marinara, torn basil, and vegan parmesan cheese. Vegan meatball brands FTW!
