Baked Meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish rooted in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed as part of pasta dishes or on their own. Typically made with ground beef or pork, they may also include breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, onions, and fresh herbs like parsley or basil for flavor. Baking instead of frying makes these meatballs a healthier option by reducing added fats and calories. They're a good source of protein, which supports muscle health and sustains energy, and may also provide essential nutrients like iron and zinc. However, their healthiness can vary based on the ingredients—higher-fat meats, excessive salt, or heavy sauces can increase calorie content. Pairing baked meatballs with veggie-rich sides and whole grains can help balance the meal, making it both nutritious and satisfying. Perfect for family dinners or meal prepping, baked meatballs are a wholesome take on a classic comfort food.
