• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 small yellow onion (grated (or minced))
• 2 tablespoons marinara sauce

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, but do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.
3. Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat and place on baking sheet. After all meatballs have been scooped onto tray, roll into balls and place back onto the baking sheet.TIP: If you lightly coat your hands with olive oil before rolling the meatballs, they will form better and crack less.
4. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
5. Remove and transfer to sauce or serve immediately.
