Notes

Tips
  • Do not overmix the meat mixture as it will result in tough meatballs.
  • Spray your palms with some oil, to make it easier for rolling the meat mixture into a ball.
  • Keep the size of the meatballs equal so that it cooks evenly. You can use an ice cream scoop or cookie dough scoop for even meatballs.
  • Season the meat mixture however you like, if you like bold flavours then try these shawarma seasoning or pesto sauce.
  • Do not overcook the meatballs, otherwise, they will become dry.
