Preparation Steps

In a large bowl, combine ground meat, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to maintain tenderness.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

With wet hands, form the meat mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Once out of the oven, let the meatballs rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with the mint yogurt sauce.
