Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Use the teaspoon of vegetable oil to grease a baking pan or dish, or line the pan with parchment paper.
  3. Add all of the remaining ingredients (i.e. everything except for the vegetable oil) into a large bowl and mix together using your hands.
  4. Use a medium cookie scoop or use your hands to scoop golf ball-sized (2+ generous tablespoons) amount of mixture. Roll the mixture gently in your hands to form a ball and place them in the dish, leaving space around each one.
  5. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature is 165°F. About 10 minutes into baking, shake the meatballs around and use a spatula to loosen any that might be sticking to the pan. Serve warm.

Notes

  • This recipe will make about 18 medium size spiced lamb meatballs.
  • Use a light touch when making the meatballs. Kneading the lamb meatball mixture will make tough meatballs.
  • Estimated nutritional information is provided for the baked lamb meatballs and not the entire Mediterranean lamb bowl. Please see the main post for serving suggestions.
