  • 2 large Eggs to bind meatballs
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs for lighter meatballs
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder or fresh garlic for more flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder adjust to preference

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Add ground beef and breadcrumbs, along with garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. With a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the meat mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll each portion into a ball, ensuring even size for uniform cooking.
  3. Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 155°F to 160°F.
  4. Once baked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite sides.
