Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until everything is evenly incorporated.
Scoop a tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small meatball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, making approximately 24 mini meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs in batches to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Once all meatballs are browned and placed on the baking sheet, bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are fully cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as appetizers with your choice of dipping sauce, or toss into your favorite gluten-free pasta or salad.
