Instructions
1
In a large bowl, mix the ground meat with all the dry seasonings: sage, thyme, ginger, salt, pepper, and paprika. If you'd like a slightly sweet touch, add maple syrup.
2
Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands so the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
3
Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized meatballs. Flatten each one slightly so they are about 1–1.5 cm thick.
4
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
5
Place the meatballs in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through and golden brown.
6
Serve hot with whole-grain carbohydrates or fresh vegetables.
