Instructions
- First, finely dice a red onion and parsley and mince garlic if needed.Then in a mixing bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients together and stir. Ensure the egg is completely combined and breadcrumbs are evenly distributed throughout.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Use a medium sized cookie scooper (spray it with cooking spray so the meat mixture doesn’t stick) and scoop into meatballs (~12 meatballs). Place each meatball directly on the skillet.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, rotating 3-4 times to ensure the meatball is completely cooked on all sides. After flipping, cover the skillet to speed the cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Use tongs and remove the meatballs from the pan and onto a plate.
- Using the same skillet (no need to clean), heat to medium heat. Add BBQ sauce, water, sriracha, and salt to the skillet. Whisk it together until water is combined and you have a cohesive sauce. Add the meatballs back into the sauce and use a spoon to coat them.
- Serve the meatballs with a fresh bag of sweet kale salad and white rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
