Moroccan Sweet Potato Meatballs (AIP, Paleo, Whole30)
Spicing things up on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is not only totally achievable but absolutely yummy too. I think many people, having defaulted to nightshades as their source of spice for years, think otherwise. But I find my food more flavourful since using AIP as my template because not being hasty to reach for typical spices taught me to season differently but deliciously.
That’s what I love about these Moroccan Sweet Potato Meatballs. They pack a flavourful punch with simple, nightshade-free ingredients.
Meatball Monday is a thing. But, really, you can nosh on meatballs any day, and especially if they are as flavah flavah-ful as these bad boys, which go splendidly with the Cilantro-Lime-Tahini Sauce I recently posted.
