Vegetarian Meatballs:
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in oil until tender; cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sauces and celery salt; set aside. Pulse crumbles several times in a food processor to break up; add to a large bowl. Add onion, egg mixture and remaining ingredients; stir well. Form into walnut-size balls with a small cookie scoop. Arrange in a 13"x9" baking pan coated with non-stick vegetable spray. Top each with a spoonful of BBQ Sauce. Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

BBQ Sauce:
Sauté onion in butter until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes.

Tip: Fresh herbs give a wonderful flavor boost to vegetable dishes! If a recipe calls for one teaspoon of a dried herb, simply substitute one tablespoon of the fresh herb.
