Adjust racks in oven to upper and lower thirds. Preheat oven to 400°F and coat two large baking sheets with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Use clean hands to gently massage the mixture, being careful not to over-mix.

Scoop the mixture into 1 tbsp-sized balls and roll gently with lightly greased hands. Place the meatballs on the baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.

Bake both trays of meatballs simultaneously, placing one tray on the upper rack and the other on the lower rack. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the meatballs. Swap the trays between racks and continue baking for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until meatballs are browned and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Serve the meatballs with marinara sauce or as desired. Enjoy!

Let meatballs cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat directly in sauce or in the microwave until heated through.

Avoid over-mixing the meat mixture to keep the meatballs tender.
