Gluten Free Meatballs Recipe
Gluten free meatballs are easy to make at home, and oh so good. Topped with marinara, they're a real I-talian treat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1/2 pound Ground Veal
- 3/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 Egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – overmixing makes tough meatballs!
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll meat mixture into about 24 1-inch meatballs.
- Place meatballs on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping meatballs halfway through, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Serve with you favorite pasta and sauce.
- Roll meat mixture into about 24 1-inch meatballs.
- Pour about 1/3 inch of oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add 5-6 meatballs to the pan at a time; cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the other side is browned.
- Remove from the pan and repeat in batches until all of the meatballs are cooked.
- Simmer in your favorite pasta sauce for 15-20 minutes to finish cooking and serve with your favorite pasta.
Notes
- I used ground beef and veal in my meatballs, but you could use pork in place of veal, or use all ground beef. Simply make sure that you have 1 1/2 pounds of ground meat total for the recipe.
