How to Make Anelia's Kyufteta Or Bulgarian Roasted Meatballs

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter meatballs. Gently flatten each meatball to about ½ inch thickness.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
  4. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the meatballs and roast for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
  6. Remove the meatballs from the oven and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider serving with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad.
