Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free Italian sausage
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce (gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free Italian sausage and ground pork.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and crack the egg into the mixture.
Stir in chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined but not overworked.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to ensure they brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, warm the gluten-free marinara sauce over medium heat.
Once the meatballs are finished baking, transfer them into the skillet with the warm marinara sauce.
Gently simmer the meatballs in the sauce for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with extra fresh parsley or grated parmesan if desired. Enjoy them as an appetizer, or pair with gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles for a hearty meal.
