gross balls of mush. never got firm no matter how long I baked them.

2nd time: Followed the directions to the letter -still a bit dry. I subbed cashew mozzarella for the Parm, then threw some of these balls into a tomato soup I'd prepared. 1st time: Fairly good - I subbed goat cheese for the Vegan Parm and ketchup for the tomato paste. I heated these up with my homemade BBQ sauce.

They were tasty but found them lacking some flavor. I did leave out the red pepper due to young children eating them. Not everyone is a fan of fennel so I did not put much in first time I made them and left it out the second time. They held up in sauce. I only put in the sauce right before serving because I was worried they might fall apart.

Very tasty! I didn’t have shallots so used diced onions. Only setback is it uses a lot of different pots and pans since I didn’t have a cast iron skillet.. and is time consuming but I will freeze my leftovers so probably worth it!

Baie lekker! Hungry for more!

Ten stars! Cannot believe how amazing these were I used the air fryer to both dry the black beans out and then to complete the cooking after browned in skillet- in hindsight I think the skillet could be skipped using an air fryer- cooked them on 375 for about 12-14 minutes and flipped a few times during cooking! Served over angel hair with marinara sauce with fresh mushrooms! The flavor is so amazing and you can’t tell these are black beans! We both loved them so much! Thanks Dana the Minimalist Baker for a fantastic recipe!

supurb! I made more than what the recipe asks for, had it two times in a week. the "Meat" balls refrigerate well and taste even better the following day. wonderful recipe.

These were amazing 😍

Hot dang these were good. I was able to use leftover ingredients (some tomato paste, basil, onion, garlic and water) to make a sauce.
