Instructions
- Meatballs: Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside. Add the meatball ingredients to a large bowl and mix until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, then roll each part into 4 balls (so you have 16 meatballs) and place on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
- Snow Pea Slaw: While the meatballs are baking, combine the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Sweet Chili Aioli: Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl and lightly brush on both sides of the rolls. Top the bottom side of the rolls with a single layer of pineapple, cutting to fit the rings as needed. (I used a 3/4 ring for each roll). Set aside.
- Aloha Pineapple Sauce: Whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a medium bowl, then set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon olive/coconut oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds Add combined Aloha Sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Once the sauce begins to thicken, add the baked meatballs, reduce to medium-low, and continue to simmer for 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the meatballs as it simmers.
- Assemble: Top the pineapple-lined rolls with 3-4 meatballs (or whatever fits your roll). Sprinkle evenly with cheese and broil until the buns are golden and the cheese is melted. Top with the Snow Pea Slaw and devour!
