Baked Meatballs (no Breadcrumbs)
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, use your hands to mix together the meatball ingredients: ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Parmesan.

  3. Form the mixture into 20 meatballs. It's easiest to shape the mixture into a log, slice it into five slices, then divide each slice into four parts and shape those into meatballs.

  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, not touching each other. Bake them until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients: ketchup, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

  6. Five minutes before the meatballs should be done, heat the sauce gently over medium-low heat. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.

  7. When the meatballs are done baking, use tongs to transfer them to the sauce. Gently toss to coat.

  8. Serve immediately.
