Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, grated onion, and beaten egg.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until fully combined.
Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking, then form the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and gently brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
Transfer the browned meatballs back to the lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the gluten-free meatballs with your favorite gluten-free pasta, sauce, or as a tasty appetizer.
