  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley.
  3. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for about 20 minutes until browned and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
