Healthy Meatballs

Submitted by Funky Little Chef

"I’m usually against improvising in the kitchen, but there are things which can be altered in a ‘traditional’ recipe. This is healthier because the meatballs are not fried in oil, but cooked in the oven, using a non-stick baking paper. Again, if you really like a certain ingredient you can add extra: i.e. meat, onion, etc. I personally put lots of dill, because it gives a nice flavour. This is the way I make my meatballs:"
