Easy Oven Baked Meatballs
Easy Oven Baked Meatballs are tender, delicious and packed with flavor! They're an easy low carb, gluten-free dinner that's ready in about 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. grass fed beef I used 80% lean
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium shallot grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or sub with tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon regular table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix gently to combine.
- Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop 2 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture and form into a ball, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat, placing the meatballs a few inches apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness after 15 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from heat and cover loosely with foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Enjoy as appetizers or with your favorite sauce!
Notes
- Pro tip: Prep the meatballs a day or two in advance and cover with plastic wrap, then allow to come to room temperature 1 hour before you plan to bake them. They may also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Oven times vary, so I recommend checking the meatballs for doneness after 15 minutes. Cooking time will also vary depending on the size of your meatballs.
- This recipe is easily doubled to feed a crowd or freeze half for later.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
