Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free oats or almond flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Gently mix until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.
- Form the mixture into meatballs slightly smaller than a golf ball.
- Let the meatball mixture sit for a few minutes.
Cooking
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
- Alternatively, brown meatballs in a skillet for added crispiness.
- Serve the meatballs in marinara sauce to soak up extra juiciness.
Notes
For tender meatballs, handle the mixture gently and fold together without squishing. Letting the mixture rest allows flavors to meld.
