method

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or tin foil.

Prepare the mixture

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using your hands or a spatula until everything is well incorporated. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

Form the meatballs

Roll the meat mixture into 2.5 cm (1 inch) balls. Wet your hands occasionally to prevent sticking during the rolling process.

Bake

Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and gently browned.
