Ingredients
  

  • To make these delightful Aidells meatballs sing you’ll need the following:
  • - 1 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil if you prefer its taste
  • - 1 46 oz package of pineapple teriyaki meatballs (the star of the show!)
  • - 1/2 fresh pineapple cored and cubed (or use a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks, drained)
  • - 2-3 cups of mixed roasted vegetables bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli are great choices
  • - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for an extra punch of flavor
  • - 1 tablespoon soy sauce to deepen the teriyaki flavor
  • Feel free to mix and match the vegetables based on what you have on hand or your family's preferences!

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • spatula
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • serving dish

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Skillet
  1. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to sit for about a minute before adding your oil. This helps ensure that when you add the meatballs later, they’ll get that nice, golden brown exterior.
Step 2: Brown the Meatballs
  1. Carefully add the package of pineapple teriyaki meatballs to the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, so all sides can brown evenly. This step enhances the flavor and gives the meatballs a nice texture. Keep a watchful eye; they only need a few minutes!
Step 3: Add the Pineapple
  1. Next, toss in the fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, whichever you opted for). Stir gently for a couple of minutes until the pineapple gets all warm and cozy, mixing in with the meatballs.
Step 4: Incorporate the Veggies
  1. Stir in the mixed roasted vegetables, making sure to spread them evenly through the meatballs and pineapple. Add the soy sauce here, too. This will rally all the flavors together. Cook until you see the sauce getting bubbly and hot, which typically takes about 3–5 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
  1. Grab that fluffy bowl of rice (or quinoa, if you're feeling adventurous) and serve the mixture over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds for that extra flair. Enjoy the applause!

Notes

- Don’t rush the browning. Let the meatballs sit for a moment before stirring for the best color.
- Experiment with veggies. Broccoli, carrots, or even snap peas can switch things up.
- Pineapple fresh vs. canned. Fresh pineapple offers a crisper bite, but canned is an easy option.
- Double the sauce! If you like it saucy, consider using a bit more teriyaki sauce or even a drizzle on top before serving.
- Meal prep magic. This dish reheats well, perfect for packed lunches or last-minute dinners.
