Instructions
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Mix gently just until combined, then shape into sixteen 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
- Arrange the meatballs with space between them and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving with sauce, pasta, or vegetables.
Notes
Do not compact the mixture while shaping; a light touch keeps the meatballs tender.
