2 cloves garlic, minced
½ medium onion, grated
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Form into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 18–20 total).
Arrange meatballs on the baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil for 2 minutes if desired for extra browning.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
