Method

1. Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position. Line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, garlic, eggs, parsley, breadcrumbs, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix well, then with wet hands, form golf ball–size balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared sheet pans. You should have about 30 meatballs.
3. Bake in the oven, rotating the sheet pans halfway through for even baking, until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
4. Serve warm, garnished with parsley alongside the tzatziki sauce for dipping.
