How to make ground pork meatballs (step-by-step)

Recipe tips

• For easier cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper. We do this whenever we bake meatballs in the oven and it saves so much time and effort.
• When making the meatballs, you can use an ice cream scoop to form the meatballs into even sized balls.
• For a nicely browned meatball, turn the oven up to broil for a few minutes at the end. Watch everything carefully to prevent burning.
• If you don’t have or don’t like fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or more coconut aminos.
• A great topping or sauce for these is a creamy ranch sauce or marinara sauce – both taste great with pork meatballs!

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
• To make the seasoning mixture, mix all of the seasoning mixture ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Place the ground pork into a bowl and pour the seasoning mixture all over the pork. Mix everything together with your hands until well incorporated.
• Now, form the pork into medium sized meatballs balls about the size those in the picture. You can use a small ice cream scoop if you have one, it makes it easy to form the pork into balls without everything sticking to your hands. This should yield about 20 meatballs.
• Place in the oven to cook for 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. If desired, you can turn the oven up to broil at the end for a few minutes to brown the tops of the meatballs.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle on toppings as desired. Serve and enjoy.
