Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop about a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture, roll it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet. You should make around 30 meatballs depending on the size.
Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until they are slightly golden and thoroughly cooked.
