Rosemary and sage oven-baked paleo meatballs

Rosemary and sage oven-baked paleo meatballs are a delicious and healthy twist on a classic dish. 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:

32 oz ground beef (80/20%)
910g
2 onions
220g
3 tbsp rosemary
5g
1 tbsp sage
2g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Prepare the Onion:
- Finely chop the onions and set aside.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onions, rosemary, sage, coriander leaves, salt, and black pepper.
4. Mix Thoroughly:
- 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.
5. Form Meatballs:
- 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.
7. Bake:
- 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).
8. Serve:
- 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.
