About the Recipe

This recipe couldn't be easier. Once you have your ingredients, you'll combine in a large bowl until everything is mixed together really well.

I like using plastic gloves for this so my hands don't get full of meat, but you do you!

After you have your meatballs made, you'll heat up some canola oil in an oven safe skillet and sauté the top and bottom until they're nice and brown.

P.S. If you don't have an oven safe skillet, check out this cast iron skillet on Amazon.

Then, you'll transfer to the oven for a few minutes to let the middle of the meatball cook, and there you go!

I love serving these with plenty of fresh veggies and then drizzle with olive oil.

You could also serve with tzatziki sauce, a lemon herb butter, or pita. I also love garnishing with fresh herbs like rosemary or dill!
