Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

Combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, rosemary, parsley, oregano, dill, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix using your hands until just blended.

Step 3

Form meat mixture into balls, about 1 1/2 inches diameter, and place onto the prepared pan.

Step 4

Spray meatballs with cooking spray, place in the preheated oven, and bake until the meatballs are browned and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.
