Italian Meatballs
Italian meatballs are a classic dish that can be served as an appetizer, main meal or snack. They’re also perfect for satisfying your cravings at any time of day. Serve them with pasta, rice or vegetables–or just enjoy them on their own!
You can bake them in the oven by following these steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
- Put all ingredients except parsley into a large bowl and mix thoroughly until everything is combined well and no chunks of bread remain visible. Then add parsley and mix again until evenly distributed throughout mixture; set aside for about 10 minutes while preparing sauce if desired (see below).
- Form 1-inch balls out of this mixture using wet hands so they don’t stick together too much when cooked; place them on an ungreased baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper; bake 20 minutes then remove from heat once done cooking completely so they don’t burn during cooling process since high heat produces browning effect which ruins flavor profile!
