Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for additional heat)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or turkey), fresh breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix the ingredients together until just combined, taking care not to overmix to ensure tender meatballs.

      Form the Meatballs: With your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart for even cooking.

        Bake the Meatballs: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes. They should be browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

          Prepare the Honey Sriracha Glaze: While waiting for the meatballs to bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the glaze is warm and well-combined.

            Glaze the Meatballs: When the meatballs are finished baking, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the Honey Sriracha glaze generously over the meatballs, using a brush or the back of a spoon to ensure they are evenly coated. Return the meatballs to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to set.

              Serve: After letting the meatballs cool for a few minutes, transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or parsley for an added touch of freshness and color. These meatballs can be served with toothpicks for appetizers or over a bed of rice or noodles for a complete meal.

                Enjoy!: Dive into these delicious meatballs, savoring the perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors that will impress your family and friends!
