Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and egg white. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula.
Step 3
Add the breadcrumbs, low-fat Greek yogurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes to the lamb mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Lightly coat your hands with some olive oil spray to prevent sticking, and shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly spray the tops of the meatballs with olive oil spray for a bit of added flavor and moisture.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through in the center. You can cut one open to check if they are done.
Step 7
