Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20
- 1 egg
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper to a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together with your hands just until combined.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into balls about 1½ inches in diameter (roughly the size of a golf ball). You should get 16–18 meatballs out of the mixture. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned on the outside and cooked through and have an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
