Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Scoop a tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small meatball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, making approximately 24 mini meatballs.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the meatballs in batches to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.

Step 7

Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Once all meatballs are browned and placed on the baking sheet, bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as appetizers with your choice of dipping sauce, or toss into your favorite gluten-free pasta or salad.
