Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Add 1 egg, minced garlic (2 cloves), and finely chopped parsley (2 tablespoons) to the mixture.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. It's best to use your hands for this step!

Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
