bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

Oats are healthier and can bind the meatballs effectively.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine grass-fed ground beef, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and egg.

Finely chop garlic, onion, and parsley, then add to the meat mixture.

Season with salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

While the meatballs bake, heat tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add water to the sauce to reach desired consistency, then simmer for 10 minutes.

Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Serve the meatballs with the tomato sauce over pasta or in a sub.

Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
