At this time, Impossible Foods can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned; at least as is culinarily-related their products seem to be hit after hit, and yep, this is another.
Cooking: Anyway you want to cook them will largely work – baked, simmered in sauce, microwaved, air fried, you name it. I simmered some in a red Italian sauce, and air fried them naked, both worked well.
Taste and texture: Top notch. The texture is more emulsified than coarse grain, but I personally prefer that. The flavor is somewhere between Impossible’s burger and sausage product – indeed I believe these are a blend of the two. The flavor is relatively restrained which means you can use it any which way you like.
Overall: Probably my favorite plant-based meatball, and maybe yours too?

Yes – these are excellent plant-based meatballs. They have a smooth texture and relatively mild taste, making them an excellent choice for everything from hearty pasta dishes through sandwiches.
