These savory oven-baked meatballs are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, parmigiano, romano cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Using slightly wet hands can help prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Ensure even spacing for uniform cooking.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Check for doneness by cutting into one meatball to ensure it's no longer pink inside.
Serve the meatballs warm with your choice of sauce or side dish.
Garnish with additional grated cheese or chopped parsley for a finishing touch.
