Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Mix gently until well combined and form 1 to 1 ½ inch meatballs. A cookie scoop can help achieve uniformity.
Arrange the formed meatballs on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until fully cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
Toss the meatballs in teriyaki sauce, adding optional green onions and sesame seeds as desired.
Serve immediately with toothpicks or over a bed of rice.

Notes

For added flavor, use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.
Adjust the size of the meatballs according to your preference; smaller ones cook faster!
These meatballs can be made ahead and reheated for easy meal prep.
