Fried meatballs are a savory dish crafted by blending ground meat, typically beef, pork, or chicken, with breadcrumbs, eggs, herbs, and spices to form bite-sized portions, which are then fried until golden and crispy. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, they are especially popular in Italian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian cooking. The indulgent frying method enhances their rich flavor but can increase calorie and fat content depending on the oil used. Meatballs are a good source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 and iron from the meat, while added herbs and spices provide a flavor boost without extra calories. For healthier variations, baking or air frying can be used to reduce fat content, and lean meats or plant-based alternatives can substitute traditional ingredients. While undeniably delicious, moderation is recommended for this high-calorie comfort food.
