Introduction
Are you looking for a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer for your next party or gathering? Look no further than skewer balls! These tasty bites are perfect for any occasion and can be customized to your personal preferences. In this recipe, we will be using ground beef as the base for our skewer balls, but feel free to substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
Ingredients
To make skewer balls, you will need the following ingredients: - 1 pound ground beef - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs - 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1 egg - Wooden skewers - Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Optional ingredients
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) - Crushed red pepper flakes - Finely chopped onion or bell pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning in the oven. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. 4. Take a small handful of the mixture and form it into a ball. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used up. 5. Take a skewer and pierce it through the center of each meatball. Place the skewered meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked and golden brown. 7. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
- Make sure to mix the meat mixture well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated. - Use lean ground beef to reduce the fat content. - If grilling the skewer balls, make sure to oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. - These skewer balls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
