Step By Step

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Combine all ingredients except for the olive oil together in a large bowl and stir to combine. Shape the mixture into 16-18 meatballs. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and when it's hot, sear the meatballs for about 2 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
3
Transfer the seared meatballs to the sheet pan and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm.
