Sage and Ricotta Baked Meatballs
These easy and flavorful meatballs make a great holiday party appetizer. The sage gives it such an amazing seasonal flavor, and the ricotta helps keep them moist.
Ingredients:
1lb extra lean ground beef (96% lean /4% fat)
1/2 cup fat free ricotta
1 large egg
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups corn flakes, crush well or Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and mist with non-fat cooking spray.
In a medium sized bowl, combine all ingredients, except for the cornflakes, and using hands, work to mix ground beef with the ricotta and the seasonings.
Form into 24 1” meatballs.
In a separate shallow bowl, add cornflakes or panko, and roll each meatball, thoroughly coating. Then, lightly mist the meatballs with an olive oil mister, or non-fat cooking spray.
Transfer meatballs to baking sheet, and roast in oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
