Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the formed meatballs to help them brown during baking.

  5. 5

    Bake the Meatballs

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with pasta, in a sub, or on their own!
