For an extra depth of flavor, try browning the meatballs in a skillet with a little olive oil before baking. Serve with warm pita bread, sliced tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and a generous dollop of homemade or store-bought tzatziki sauce. These meatballs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to your personal preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, minced onion, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh parsley, fresh oregano, fresh dill, ground coriander, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to mix until just blended, being careful not to overwork the mixture. (5 minutes)
