VitalityBurger Meatballs

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Serves: 4–6

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Vitality Burger ground beef blend
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
• 1/4 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Olive oil for baking or frying

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Make the Meatball Mixture:
   In a large bowl, combine the Vitality Burger ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan, egg, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix gently by hand or with a spoon until just combined—don’t overwork the mixture to keep the meatballs tender.
3. Form the Meatballs:
   Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Meatballs:
   Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Optional: For an extra crispy outside, you can lightly pan-fry the meatballs in a bit of olive oil before finishing them in the oven.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Serve the meatballs with marinara sauce over spaghetti, tuck them into subs with melted cheese, or enjoy them on their own with a side of dipping sauce!
