Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, breadcrumbs, and almond milk. Mix until the breadcrumbs are well incorporated into the sausage.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the sausage mixture. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, making sure they are uniformly sized for even cooking. You should get about 16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet in batches if necessary, and cook until they are brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (70Β°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest a few minutes before serving.
Serve your Dairy-Free Hearty Sausage Meatballs with your favorite pasta, sauce, or as a delicious appetizer!
