Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot over pasta, with a dipping sauce, or as desired.
