Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined, but do not overmix.
Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the honey tangy glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the Sue Bee Honey, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Let the glaze cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Once the meatballs are cooked, heat a skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the baked meatballs to the skillet and pour the honey tangy glaze over them.
Gently toss the meatballs in the glaze until they are fully coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the glazed mini meatballs to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
