Sabrina and her team threw themselves into an intense exploration phase, visiting suppliers across the world. “The first step was to look into alternative protein sources. We quickly decided that we didn’t want to go for soy since there are environmental downsides to the cultivation. Eventually, we decided on pea protein.”

The plant balls go perfectly with classic meatball friends like mashed potatoes, cream sauce, peas and lingonberry jam (but you can also try them with something completely new and different, of course.)

Awesome Veg Meatballs!EvaI’ve been vegetarian for nearly 20 years and always on the hunt for new veggie proteins and these are honestly so good. Baked them in the toaster oven and they are juicy yet crispy on the outside! Great flavour and texture -prefer these to the older ikea veg meatball recipe!
If you want a meatball eat a meatball!JodieIam so frustrated by the products that are trying to taste like meat. I am a vegetarian because I just don't like meat. The classic veggie balls are so good. These new ones are terrible, unless I guess you maybe like meat. But if you like meat, then eat it and let the vegetarians have what we like.
Some of the best plantbased meatballs I've had!FaryaIm honestly so surprised by the reviews on this not being higher? I LOVE these and buy them all the time. I love the texture and find that they work so well and honestly even better than other brands of plant based meatballs! Never get rid of these, Ikea! I will be devastated <3
SucculentAmaraScrumptious and succulent.
Tasty 😋MelanieIt’s my first time trying. I enjoyed the taste and texture. I had it with gravy, mashed potatoes and Ikea lingonberry jam. It’s all worked well together. I’d try it again.
Texture is awfulAngeliqueDo not recommend.
New recipe isn't great RodI used to look forward to having these... Not anymore.
YummyTerriI love this product and I’m not even a vegetarian. They’re even good cold for snacking in a hurry. Great flavours and filling but not in a heavy way. Everyone should try them.

Story
A plant ball for meat lovers (and for everyone else)
For the first time since the launch in 1985, the much-loved IKEA meatball faces serious competition. The new plant ball is made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, apples and onion, but has the look, taste and juicy bite of a meatball.
When product developer Sabrina Anania-Stepanian first got the assignment, the mission was straight forward – and mega challenging. She was to develop the icon product of the future: a plant-based ball that tastes and feels like a meatball. The first prototype needed to be ready in just six months.
Based on pea protein
The perfect meaty taste and texture
There’s a science to extracting protein from vegetables. So, Sabrina and her co-workers finished their research and partnered up with experts in the field. Next came the more hands-on development. “We first looked at getting the texture just right, then at achieving the right taste. We had several development sessions and tastings before we were happy”, says Sabrina.
Function solution
Try a super savoury, Scandi-inspired plant ball
Can pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion and apple feel and taste like meat? Yes! The HUVUDROLL plant ball is based on these five traditional, Scandinavian ingredients – beefed up by natural flavouring and balanced by mushroom, tomato, lemon, black pepper and more. Still, it’s got the look, taste and juicy texture of a meatball. Plant balls go perfectly with classic meatball friends, or why not try them in a curry, or served with kimchi or grains. Have a bite!
