Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground pork
- 1 large egg
- 60 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 15 ml soy sauce
- 10 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 15 grams, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 bottle olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and chopped parsley.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Avoid over-mixing as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, around 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. You should get about 20 meatballs from this mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced so that they cook uniformly.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the meatballs with olive oil cooking spray to ensure they brown nicely.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and golden brown. To check if they're done, an inserted meat thermometer should read at least 71 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve these low fat savory pork meatballs hot with your choice of side dishes such as whole wheat pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
