- Place meatballs in a lightly greased 15 x 10 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are no longer pink inside.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
