Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs:

1 lb ground pork (or beef)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

For the Honey Sriracha Glaze:

1/4 cup honey

3 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1-2 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined.

      Form the Meatballs: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each meatball.

        Bake the Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.

          Prepare the Glaze: While the meatballs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

            Glaze the Meatballs: Once the meatballs are done baking, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the honey Sriracha glaze over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated. If desired, return the glazed meatballs to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if using. Serve warm with toothpicks for an appetizer or over rice for a main dish.
