📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush a baking sheet (preferably dark non-stick) with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil.
2
In a mixing bowl toss fresh bread crumbs with milk. Let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes while you prepare the ingredients for the meatballs.
3
Add ground beef to the soaked crumbs, evenly sprinkle over salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and coriander. Add parsley, mint, red onion, garlic and eggs.

4
Toss mixture with your hands and gently crumble and mix together until mixture is uniformly combined.
5
Shape meatball mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches each or 42 grams.
6
Place on baking sheet and rub bottom side over the olive oil. Repeat to use up all of the meatball mixture and space meatballs evenly apart on baking sheet.
7
Bake in preheated oven until center of meatballs registers 165 degrees, about 15 to ⏱️ 19 minutes (test a few meatballs in center of baking sheet too for doneness as the center usually cooks a little slower than edges).
8
Preferably serve with fresh made tzatziki for dipping.
