Pork Meatballs

• servings: 8
• active time: 10
• total time: 25

Ingredients

•2 lb. ground pork 85/15

•2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 teaspoon of fine salt

•½ teaspoon black pepper

•2 teaspoons onion powder

•2 teaspoons garlic powder

•2 teaspoons sweet paprika

•1 teaspoon thyme dried

•1 teaspoon coriander ground

•1 teaspoon cumin ground

Directions

•Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heatproof parchment paper or nonstick foil.

•In a large bowl, use your clean hands to mix together all the ingredients.

•Shape the mixture into 32 meatballs, each weighing about 1 oz (30 grams). It's easier to shape the meatballs if your hands are wet.

•Arrange the meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

•Bake them until browned and cooked through, for about 15 minutes.

Notes

Handle the meatballs as lightly as you can to ensure they are not too dense. Don't over-mix the ingredients, and when shaping the meatballs, try to use a light touch.

Make sure your baking sheet is rimmed. You should also make sure that the parchment paper can withstand this temperature (check on the package). If unsure, use nonstick foil.
