We veganized Meatball Subs and couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome! Check out this EASY recipe for the BEST Vegan Meatball Subs..could there be a better comfort food? This recipe is SUPER easy to make and made gluten free or without adding any oil. Add some of your favorite homemade or store bought vegan cheese, smother your meatballs in your favorite marinara sauce and enjoy!
What’s the best flour to use?
You can use any gluten free flour you prefer, but I personally LOVE using chickpea flour for this recipe. It adds a little bit more flavor to the falafel and adds a lot more depth, plus I feel that it helps hold the mixture together a lot better than regular flour.
What’s the best cheese to use for the sub?
You can really use any cheese you prefer – there are several Vegan store bought shreds that melt really well for sub. I chose to use my homemade ricotta cheese (without the spinach) and just added that all over. You can also use some homemade cashew cream as the cheese (which is definitely the family favorite). Both are linked down below to view 🙂

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Just roll up the meatballs, transfer to a freezer safe container or baggy, and stick them in the freezer. When you’re ready to cook them, just pop them in the oven for 30-35 minutes or on the stovetop in a frying pan.
