- Roll into 18-20 balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- Meanwhile, add the ingredients for the sauce to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until thickened. Add a tbsp of water at a time to adjust consistency if desired.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and baste with a small amount of the sauce to coat. Bake for 5 more minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or water to coat. Add in the cabbage and carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes just until barely tender, seasoning with salt.

Notes
* You can use traditional Worcestershire, but it's not typically plant-based due to the addition of anchovies. This is the Worcestershire powder that I use from All Spice
