This Greek meatballs recipe is easy to make, perfectly moist and tender, and bursting with fresh and zesty flavors. Serve these meatballs on their own or in a green salad, pita, rice bowl…you name it.

One of my favorite versatile meal prep recipes — Greek meatballs! ♡

Inspired by Greek keftedes, these simple meatball recipe can be made with your choice of beef or lamb or plant-based “meat.” It’s loaded up with lots of fresh herbs (mint, cilantro and/or parsley), seasonings (cumin and oregano), garlic, scallions, a touch of heat, and fresh lemon zest. Then a simple panade ensures that these meatballs don’t dry out and bake up to be perfectly juicy and tender. You’re going to love them!

I’ve especially come to love this Greek meatball recipe because of its versatility, since they can be served in so many fun ways. These meatballs are, of course, delicious just served on their own as an appetizer or part of a mezze platter. Or you can add them to a fresh green salad (or Greek salad), pita, wrap, grain bowl, casserole, lemony orzo, hummus, or even a simple soup. Lately, I’ve loved serving these Greek meatballs served over rice with a few chopped veggies and a simple 4-ingredient lemony tahini yogurt sauce, which always tastes so incredibly fresh and flavorful. This meatball recipe also freezes beautifully, so it’s awesome if you’re looking to do some meal prep for the months ahead too.
