Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and milk. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Step 3
Add the ground beef, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 4
Gently mix everything together with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 5
With dampened hands, form the mixture into tablespoon-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meatballs on all sides, about 3-4 minutes total. This step adds flavor and helps the meatballs hold their shape.
Step 7
Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs warm, accompanied by your favorite gluten-free sauce or pasta.
