Spicy Italian Meatballs are a savory and bold dish rooted in Italian cuisine, known for their robust flavor and hearty texture. Traditionally crafted from a combination of ground beef and pork, these meatballs are seasoned with garlic, onion, parsley, chili flakes, and Italian herbs like oregano and basil. To elevate the spice, crushed red pepper or hot paprika is often added. While rich in protein, these meatballs can be high in saturated fat depending on the meat used. Baking or air-frying offers a healthier alternative to frying, reducing excess oil. Often paired with marinara sauce and whole grain pasta, this dish can be balanced nutritionally with the addition of vegetables or a side salad. Though indulgent, portion control and mindful ingredient choices can make Spicy Italian Meatballs a flavorful part of a well-rounded diet.
