Using ground beef combined with aromatic herbs like rosemary, sage, and coriander, these meatballs offer a flavorful and nutritious option for those following the paleo diet. Perfect for a hearty meal, these meatballs can be paired with your favorite veggies or a fresh salad.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Finely chop the onions and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onions, rosemary, sage, coriander leaves, salt, and black pepper.
- Use your hands or a sturdy spatula to mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be sure the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
- With your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1½ inches (4 cm) in diameter. You should end up with around 24 meatballs.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
- Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Once baked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve the meatballs warm, either on their own, with a dipping sauce, or over a fresh salad for a complete paleo-friendly meal.
Tips:
- For an even finer texture, finely chop the onions or use a food processor to blend them before mixing with the ground beef.
- Allow the meatball mixture to rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before shaping, which helps the flavors to meld and makes the mixture easier to handle.
- Use a cookie scoop or wet your hands with water when forming the meatballs to ensure they are evenly sized and prevent sticking.
- Bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For added moisture, lightly brush the meatballs with olive oil before baking.
