Meatballs for Toddlers
Easy, delicious, and full of nutrients that growing kids need! They are a great source of protein from the ground beef and even pack in some fiber from hidden vegetables.

Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 1 zucchini peeled and diced
- 1 cup white mushrooms diced
- cooking spray
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp basil dried
- 1 1/4 cup panko
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- Place a skillet on medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and combine all diced vegetables in the skillet. Cook until wilted, roughly 10 minutes. Take off heat.
- While the vegetables are cooling, combine all of the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Once the vegetables are slightly cooled, add them in. (If the veggies are too hot, they might scramble the eggs!)
- Once the mixture is completely homogenous, use a cookie scoop to create 2" balls. Place on the cookie sheet at least 1/2 inch apart. It should create about 20 equally sized meatballs.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425°F, until just slightly browned.
