1
Gather and portion ingredients.
2
Set oven to 375 °F
3
Peel and grate the onion or chop finely. I find it works best if you keep the root end of the onion intact.
4
Crack the egg and add the water to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add in the bread crumbs and let them soak up the liquid.
5
Add the grated onion, garlic (grated or chopped), and the parmesan.
6
Add the italian seasoning and salt. Switch to a spatula or your hands to combine.
7
Add the ground beef and mix together until fully incorporated with the other ingredients. I like to use my hands to knead and combine ingredients.
8
Use a 2 Tbsp scoop or spoon to portion the meatballs onto a rimmed sheet pan.
9
Roll the portioned meatballs between your hands to form them into even balls.
10
Bake for 15 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Flip them to the other side halfway through baking.
