Easy Baked Meatballs
Yields about 12 large meatballs
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 T tomato paste
- ½ C grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 T Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin
- 1 t garlic powder
- 1 t dried oregano
- 1 T onion flakes (or 1 tsp. onion powder)
- 1 t sea salt
- ½ t black pepper
- A neutral-flavor high-heat cooking oil, for greasing
- Zucchini noodles (or pasta) and your favorite marinara, for serving
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Using a fork or clean hands, stir together all the ingredients aside from the cooking oil, zucchini noodles, and marinara.
- Mix them together well and then let the meat rest for about 3-5 minutes to absorb the gelatin.
- Form meatballs in about 2″ diameter and lay them out on a lined sheet pan. Spray the meatballs with neutral-flavor high-heat cooking oil (using a Misto or similar atomizer) or grease each meatball by hand.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs begin to turn golden brown and are cooked throughout.
- Serve with your favorite noodle and marinara sauce.
