Description
These ground lamb meatballs are loaded with Moroccan flavor from cumin, paprika, cilantro, & parsley. An onion is grated into the mix, making them perfectly tender & juicy. The simplicity of baking them in the oven makes these the ideal weeknight dinner to serve alongside bread and a simple salad.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small red onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 tbsp parsley, minced
- 2 tbsp cilantro, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 375° F.
- Combine all ingredients. In a medium sized bowl combine the ground lamb, egg, breadcrumbs, grated onion, garlic, minced herbs, and spices and mix well.
- Shape the meatballs. Shape the meatballs into evenly sized balls (see note). Arrange on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake & enjoy. Bake until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 145° F, about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to air fry these at 400°F in an air fryer instead of the oven for about 8-10 minutes!
- I recommend using a cookie scoop to create evenly sized meatballs. Scoop, then roll with your hands.
- Coat your hands with a drop or two of olive oil to prevent sticking while rolling.
