Grilled meatballs are a savory dish enjoyed worldwide, with roots in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. Typically made from a blend of ground meats such as beef, lamb, or chicken, they are mixed with flavor-enhancing ingredients like herbs, spices, garlic, onion, and breadcrumbs, then shaped into bite-sized portions and cooked over an open flame or grill. This cooking method adds a smoky flavor while reducing fat content compared to frying. Rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, grilled meatballs can be a nutritious choice when paired with fresh salads or whole grains. However, the healthiness depends on the meat's fat content and the ratio of added ingredients like salt or processed breadcrumbs. Opting for lean meats and whole-food binders, such as oats, can make this comforting dish a guilt-free option for balanced eating.
