Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and milk. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Add the ground beef, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Gently mix everything together with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
With dampened hands, form the mixture into tablespoon-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meatballs on all sides, about 3-4 minutes total. This step adds flavor and helps the meatballs hold their shape.
Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, accompanied by your favorite gluten-free sauce or pasta.
