Paleo BBQ Meatballs are zesty, spicy, and oh so good. What to pair with BBQ meatballs? Throw them right into the oven, paired with my Crispy Fried Broccoli or a salad for a quick and easy meal. These also pack well in a lunchbox when you, are your kids are getting sick of the same lunch. The BBQ sauce is a little bit sweet, zesty, with a touch of spice for the perfect Paleo sauce. This sauce can also be used on any of your favorite grilled meat. Paleo BBQ Meatballs are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.

I like to bake the Paleo BBQ Meatballs without the sauce and then I will top the meatballs with the sauce for the last 10 mins of baking time. I like to reserve around 1/4 cup of sauce to add once they come out of the oven before serving. This is optional but makes them look more appealing this way.

This BBQ sauce holds up well in the fridge for up to a week. It is easy to double this recipe if you like to keep extra on hand. The meatballs also freeze well too.

  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
  • Turn heat down to low and simmer for 7-9 minutes. Take off the heat once done.
