- 1 tsp Aleppo pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
Instructions

Notes
- To make these ahead of time: Make the meatball mixture, refrigerate for up to 2 days and bake when you’re ready.
- Freezing instructions: Scoop out the meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for one hour until they’re firm and then store them in a sealed freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, thaw the meatballs in the fridge and bake as instructed.
- Leftovers: Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- To make sure all the meatballs are the same size, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to portion the meatballs.
- Want to make it spicy? Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the meatball mixture.
- If the meatball mixture is hard to scoop out and shape, cover it and refrigerate for one hour.
