Meatballs are perfect to have for lunch. That is one of the reasons why you should try this easy meatballs recipe. You can eat them with bread or sub — and make meatball subs out of them, or you can enjoy them as a topping for spaghetti and other pasta dishes. Another good way to enjoy meatball is to simply sip them with your favorite sauce –like sweet and sour sauce, or ranch even.
I have a quick and easy meatball recipe just for you. This recipe requires only baking the meatballs, so you can do other things while waiting for your meatballs to be ready. I had a lot of parsley in the fridge and I thought of adding more of it in the meatballs to see if it will have an impact. It did have an impact and I am glad that it was positive.
The meatballs tasted fresh and really flavorful. I tried them without any dipping and everything was awesome. I had another with ranch, and it was more delicious. I also tried dipping some meatballs in honey mustard and I enjoyed every bite. You can make meatball subs with marinara sauce out of this Easy Meatballs — and it will also be a good topping for your spaghetti. Add a some spaghetti sauce on top and you have your spaghetti with meatballs dinner. Enjoy!

Hi Vanjo, I was wondering if you know the recipe for typical bolabola that you buy in the street cart. I’m sure more of a flour and some fish flakes flavor but I love the taste of them especially when they’re plump, hot and ready eat and dip to vinegar sauce. I appreciate if you can, thanks!

Can I use a air fryer instead?

Can I use an induction oven instead.
Glengyl Umali says
I dont have oven or turbo broiler.. will it work using a frying pan? Will the taste differ from using an oven compared to deep frying?
Vanjo Merano says
You can pan fry the meatballs. The taste won’t be different, just the texture. However, the final result will still be alright.

Sure Sarah, you can do use turbo broiler to cook the meatballs.
