Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Bread crumbs (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, black pepper, oregano, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients by hand or with a spoon until well combined, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each meatball lightly with olive oil to help them brown and add a bit of extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these low sodium savory beef balls as a light snack, over pasta, or with your favorite sauce.
