I originally made this recipe in a cast iron as you can see in the photo but through trial and error, I noticed that cooking them in the oven on parchment paper was the most fuss free way to go. I like to serve these meatballs with a lemon kale salad and a diced tomato, olive, onion, feta salad. I also like to eat this with a side of hummus. For a more filling meal, you could serve this with rice or pasta.
