  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Glaze
  • 1 cup Firebee Spicy Honey

Instructions

Step 1

Position 2 racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients and mix together with your hands. Make sure not to overmix, or your meatballs will be dry.

Step 3

Roll into balls, about 3 tablespoons per ball and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until meatballs are completely cooked.

Step 4

Remove meatballs from oven once cooked. Mix red pepper flakes into honey and use as a glaze to brush onto the meatballs. Place back into oven for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from oven and enjoy! You can use the additional glaze right before serving or as a dipping sauce.
