Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the meatballs for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and lightly browned.
Pan-Frying Option:
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the meatballs for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
7. Serve:
If desired, warm the meatballs in marinara or tomato sauce for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve over pasta, rice, or as a topping for a hearty salad.
Tips for Success:
Binding: If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water or vegetable broth.
Make Ahead: Prepare and freeze the uncooked meatballs for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen as needed.
