Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, cooked onion and garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Form the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the beef balls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through and browned on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
