Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra lean ground veal, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add oat flour, egg, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture.
Add 3 tablespoons of water to keep the mixture moist. Mix everything gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each meatball.
Brush the tops of the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the soy-free extra lean ground veal meatballs with your choice of pasta, a rich tomato sauce, or as a tasty appetizer.
