Lamb Meatballs
Description
The Lamb Meatballs recipe uses basic pantry spices and bread crumbs with ground lamb to create evenly sized meatballs baked in the oven. The mixture is shaped into small balls and baked at 375°F until browned and cooked through, ensuring a tender texture. The cumin and paprika give a subtle earthy and smoky flavor while garlic powder adds depth.
The meatballs can be served warm as a simple protein component or appetizer, enhanced visually and flavor-wise with fresh chopped parsley. Their modest seasoning makes them adaptable for pairing with various sides or sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb ground
- ½ cup bread crumbs plain
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- parsley chopped, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and then set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the lamb, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and salt until well combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion out 18 equal-sized meatballs (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Use your hands to roll each scoop into a ball and then place them back onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until browned with an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Serve warm.
