Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, dairy-free breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
With your hands, form the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch meatballs and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs, ensuring each is lightly coated. This will help them brown nicely while cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. You can check internal temperature to be safe, aiming for 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or as appetizers with a dipping sauce.
