Easy Italian Oven Baked Meatballs

These oven baked meatballs are as easy to make as they are juicy and flavorful. We love them with homemade marinara sauce and gluten-free pasta, or tossed in teriyaki sauce, or even served on top of cauliflower mashed potatoes with gravy.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • 2 rimmed baking sheets
  • oven

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the veggies, spices, salt and pepper.  Add in the meat and mix everything together with clean hands.
  • Form the meat mixture into 1 - 1.5 inch balls and place meatballs on two rimmed baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper. Make sure there is a little space between each one so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until inside is no longer pink. If you're using ground turkey and want them to be a little golden brown on top, you can turn on the broiler and for a few minutes to brown just before you remove them from the oven.
