Easy one pan meals are the best! 

They cook up in one pan, they’re easy to make and there’s no fuss. That’s an important thing when it comes to getting a meal on the table fast.

These delicious one pan garlic herb meatballs are so easy to make. The whole process takes just under 30 minutes from start to finish, including the prep time.

Fresh cilantro, lemon, rosemary and garlic.

Of course, I love Instant Pot meals too!

I wrote a cookbook featuring this amazing kitchen tool – The Art of Great Cooking with Your Instant Pot.

Instant Pot dinners are always my go-to when I don’t have a lot of time to throw together something that would usually take a long time to make.

But sometimes I just need a quick, healthy meal that won’t break the bank. One pan, one pot and one sheet meals are THE best for this!

Meatballs pack a protein punch and are always a crowd pleaser!

My family loves succulent meatballs, especially when there’s some yummy gravy or sauce that goes with them. We love meatballs in soups, baked and with lots of bold flavors.

Meatballs are great because you can serve them as is, with a dipping sauce, with a salad, with veggies, with cauliflower-rice or white rice, with gluten-free or grain-free pasta, and on and on. They are so versatile that they pair well with anything.

And my favorite part, they don’t take much time to cook!

For most people, busy is the norm these days. We have super busy schedules and not a lot of time to fuss over meals throughout the day. And we all know that time is precious!

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy healthy, super tasty, home cooked meals!

Make sure to add these delicious Garlic Herb Meatballs to your menu planning!

One Pan Garlic Herb Meatballs {30 Minute Meal}

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cook Time: 22 minutes
Total Time: 29 minutes

Meatballs are always a family favorite. These garlicky meatballs are bursting with flavor and jam packed with vibrant cilantro, sweet mint and lemony dill.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground grass-fed beef
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¾ tsp sea salt (<-- this is my favorite sea salt)
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp coconut aminos, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp butter, ghee or avocado oil
  • 1 cup homemade bone broth

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, ground ginger, sea salt, cilantro, mint, dill, 1 tablespoon coconut aminos and the egg. Very gently mix until everything is incorporated and evenly distributed. Roll mixture into meatballs about 1 ½ to 2” thick, set aside on a plate.
  2. Add healthy fat of choice to a pan over medium-high heat. Once the fat has melted, add the meatballs leaving some space between them (they should not be touching) and cook the meatballs until they are browned on each side, about 7 minutes. Add the bone broth and coconut aminos and continue cooking the meatballs until cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
