1 medium White onion
1 cup Parsley, fresh
908 gm Beef, ground, lean (grass fed - organic)
2 cup Egg
1/4 cup Bread crumbs, plain (use more as necessary - whole grain)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Finely chop the carrot, celery, onion, and parsley (a food processor is easiest). Add these chopped vegetables to a large bowl.
3. Add the meat, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper into the bowl with the vegetables and mix everything together thoroughly.
4. Roll small amounts of the mixture into balls and lay on the baking sheet. Make sure all meatballs are the same size to ensure consistent cooking.
5. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Cooking times may vary based on oven types, as well as size of meatballs. Ensure your meatballs are completely cooked through.
