Honey Garlic Pork Meatballs
My kids love these Honey Garlic Pork Meatballs and I know if they have any friends coming over, I have to make double the recipe because there are definitely never enough meatballs for more than 3 helpings! The team-up of honey and garlic giving these little morsels a perfect coating.
Minced pork, when cooked, has a soft texture unlike beef which can tend to be more dry and coarse. Serve hot with Italian spaghetti or simple white rice.
To make Honey Garlic Pork Meatballs, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Honey Garlic Pork Meatballs
1 | Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet | 10 |
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet, with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. | ||
2 | Prepare meatball mixture | 3 |
In a large bowl, use your hands to combine pork with the beaten egg, bread crumbs, cilantro (if using), green onion, 1 clove minced garlic, salt and pepper until well blended. | ||
3 | Portion meatballs | 15 |
Using your hands, roll and shape the meatball mixture into balls about 1-inch in diameter, roughly ⅝-ounce each. Transfer to the baking sheet. | ||
4 | Bake | 20 |
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink. | ||
5 | Melt butter | 2 |
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy. | ||
6 | Add garlic | 1 |
Add remaining 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook, while stirring, for about 1 minute. | ||
7 | Add sauce ingredients | 1 |
Add ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and hot sauce, if using and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 minute. | ||
8 | Serve | 2 |
Combine and coat meatballs with the sauce and serve hot with a side dish of your choice or enjoy as it comes! | ||

Very nice texture kinda crunchy and all sour which is exactly the type of meatballs I was looking for.
I had mine cold for lunch at work today and thankfully it still tasted good id say even better cold to be honest.
Bow pasta is a great side dish for this or even white rice it helps cool the spiciness down and fills you up for dinner/lunch or whatever you time of the day you made this for.
I went with ground beef instead of pork grips the flavor more.
Cilantro kinda taste funky in this dish wouldn't recommend it.
My kids LOVEEE this freaking meatball recipe with fries no sauce needed too which makes it even better.
Took such a long time to make this i liked it but going to stick with something less spicy instead like the pesto meatballs with garlic.-
Bite from heaven first time ive ever made anything like this in my life.
The taste reminded me a bit of buffalo wings lol really good.
Honey garlic stuff goes well with about every type of meat and also curly fries are a great side dish.
This and the poundcake with strawberry glaze for dessert are good thx for sharing 5 star meal right here.
Loving the meatballs going to try them out but grounded chicken and pork mixed.
Way too much soy sauce you'll only need about a teaspoon.
Frying them makes it more crunchy and less likely to break apart if anyone is having trouble.
Amazing for a cookout i made it for our families barbeque night out and its a huge crowd pleaser for sure :)
Nicely done, couldn't ask for a better meal!
Drop some paremesan on the top and you got yourself the best recipe out there.
Mann these are good I actually decided to make the meat but instead of meatballs I wrapped it into a taco with some lettuce and sourcream...
Flavorful spicy and easy to make couldnt ask for a better recipe thankful i found this website too so will be bookmarking and trying a lot more stuff out.
Spicy and delicious I absolutely loved this recipe.
Yummy-yummy! I love it! Thanks for sharing recipe!
