Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved Brussels sprouts in olive oil and roast for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, roasted Brussels sprouts, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Using wet hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. While baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced tomatoes and season with salt and pepper; simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer baked meatballs to the skillet with sauce and stir gently to coat before serving.

Keywords: For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken. To add extra flavor, incorporate spices such as smoked paprika or additional herbs into the meat mixture. Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days; reheat gently with a splash of sauce.
