Mini Meatballs

Prep time : 15 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes | Makes about 30 mini balls

Who says meatballs have to be the centrepiece of a meal? I find these little flavour-packed bites are perfect for snacking anytime. Golden and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, they’re the ultimate grab-and-go treat. Make a batch, and you’ve got a week of quick, delicious snacks ready to reheat in minutes—or toss them into your favourite pasta, pair them with a Greek salad, or serve as a flavourful side!
