Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  3. Add all ingredients to a food processor. Pulse a few times just until combined, scraping down the sides in between pulses.
  4. Transfer the mix onto a work surface.
  5. Using your hands, roll about 32 meatballs (about 1 tablespoon each).* Set onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the meatballs until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F. (13 to 15 minutes).
  7. Serve the meatballs as an appetizer with a dipping sauce. Or, make the meatballs a main dish and serve with spaghetti and pasta sauce.

Notes

  • *It's important to keep the size of these meatballs at about 1 tablespoon. Making them much larger than that tends to make them tough.
