A delightful twist on classic meatballs, these are packed with herbs and cheese for a flavorful experience.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, onion powder, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite sauce or as part of a dish.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
