With these gluten-free meatballs the motto is "No bread crumbs? No problem!" Instead of bread crumbs they call for gluten-free oats, which work just as well and bring extra nutrition to the party too.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2/3 cup gluten-free quick-cooking oats
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1-1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce

- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Fit a 15x10x1-in. baking sheet with a wire rack; coat with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine first 9 ingredients. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2 in. balls. Line on prepared wire rack, spacing 1-in. apart. Bake until internal temperature reaches 165°, 25-30 minutes.
