Ingredients:

• 450g ground beef
• 50g bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 200g pineapple chunks
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 2 green onions, sliced

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• baking sheet
• skillet
• spatula

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, then form the mixture into bite-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the meatballs in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the spicy pineapple sauce. In a skillet over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, pineapple chunks, brown sugar, and sriracha. Cook until the pineapple starts to break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Add the baked meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce.

Serve the Spicy Pineapple Meatballs garnished with sliced green onions for a pop of freshness. The combination of sweet pineapple and spicy sauce with the hearty meatballs is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
