Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the meatball ingredients together until combined, using your hands if needed. Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Arrange the meatballs on the lined baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until fully cooked, then let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes.
Toss the cooked meatballs in teriyaki sauce, and if desired, sprinkle with additional green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the meatballs warm, with toothpicks or over a bed of rice.

Notes

For a flavorful twist, experiment with different ground meats or add vegetables into the mixture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
These meatballs can easily be made in advance and frozen before baking.
