These full-flavored meatballs cook up in 15 quick minutes and they're low-carb, with less than 5 grams per serving. We suggest serving our Zesty Sausage Meatballs with warmed spaghetti sauce for dipping.
What You'll Need
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients; mix well. Form the mixture into 36 one-inch balls.
- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until no pink remains, turning the meatballs over halfway through baking.
Notes
- Note: You can also use lean ground beef, veal, and even ground turkey breast, so they can be a bit different every time you serve them.
