Directions
40 min.
1. Step
Start with preheating your oven to 375 degrees F, a temperature that allows the tuna meatballs to bake evenly.
2. Step
In a large bowl, combine the drained and flaked tuna, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and the egg. Season it with salt and pepper. One advantage from my personal experience is that using canned tuna in olive oil adds more flavor to the recipe than the water-based variety.
3. Step
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Make sure they're packed tightly, as this will ensure they hold their shape during baking.
4. Step
Put the meatballs on a greased baking sheet, equally spaced. Brush them with a thin layer of olive oil—this helps them achieve that delightful golden color.
5. Step
Bake the tuna meatballs for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. An important tip is not to exceed this cooking time to avoid drying out the tuna.
6. Step
If you're a fan of marinara or any other sauces, you may heat up a jar while the meatballs are baking and serve them on the side or you can pour it over when serving.
