Gluten Free Meatballs
by: claire cary
These are the BEST gluten free meatballs. Juicy, tender and so easy to make. This recipe is freezer friendly, perfectly spicy and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons marinara sauce
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add all ingredients for the meatballs to a large mixing bowl.
- I like to use my hands (wearing gloves) to mix everything up because it combines much more easily, but you can also use a large fork to mix it up until well combined.
- Scoop the mixture into balls using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit.
- Transfer the meatballs to a large skillet with marinara sauce and let simmer to let the flavors absorb for about 5 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite gluten free pasta and enjoy!
Notes
You can use ground chicken or turkey in place of beef if you prefer.
