Traditionally, meatballs are made with hot spices cooked to the perfect taste of a simple creamy sauce. There is a reason why meatballs have become so popular all over the world. Each country has its own version of meatballs. What you generally see in an Italian restaurant is not the sauce recipe that you will learn today. The Swedish meatballs are smaller, and they have a mixture of nutmeg and pepper instead of spices. 

The Baked Chicken Meatball, cooked with the purpose of having a light, low-oil dinner, is another variation of the popular dish that anyone worried about eating unhealthy can enjoy without any guilt. For this recipe, grated parmesan is much easier to bake with, and the rich taste goes better with the meatballs as well.

Step 1

Bake the onion, garlic, and olive oil in a big pan for eight minutes, or until aromatic, after preheating the oven to 180°C. 

Step 2

After removing the pan and thoroughly mixing in the remaining sauce ingredients, set a rack immediately over the pan to allow the juices to flow in. 

Step 3

Raise the oven temperature to 200°C. Soak the bread and onion together until they are tender, adding water or milk if necessary.

Step 4

Make sure the huge heaped tablespoons don’t get too little or overcook too quickly by rolling them into firm balls, around twenty pieces.

Step 5

Place the meatballs on the rack, lightly coat with oil, bake for 20 minutes, and then briefly broil for a deeper colour and browning.

Step 6

Place the meatballs in the sauce, coat them evenly, and serve hot with your preferred pasta or spaghetti, parmesan, and parsley.

Tips and Tricks

  1. To bake the chicken meatballs, use the Prestige Air Fryer. This air fryer includes a “chicken” preset, which allows you to bake meatballs evenly without using too much oil. 
  2. The hot-air circulation will give the exteriors a light crisp while keeping the interiors moist.
  3. To make the sauce, use a Prestige Hard Anodised Plus Gas/Induction Kadai. The hard-anodised surface is robust and non-reactive, allowing you to mix ingredients on the stove over low heat or simply use it as a prep bowl.
  4. Use a tri-ply or stainless steel kadai for high-heat searing. If you want more crust on the meatballs, you can first fry them briefly on a Tri-Ply Kadai by Prestige.
  5. The tri-ply provides even, high heat for effective searing.

Of course. These go great with zoodles, sautéed vegetables, cauliflower rice, or even as a juicy topping for a low-carb salad bowl. They’re essentially the superheroes of dinner variety.

Baking keeps the meatballs light, juicy, and easy to prepare, while also allowing the parmesan to work its magic without burning. Plus, using an air fryer or oven means crispy edges without swimming in oil.
