Preheat oven to 350-degree F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep aside.

In a bowl, using your hands or a spatula, mix together minced beef, garlic, onion, egg, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, chili flakes, water, salt and pepper until its well combined, but make sure not to overmix it.

Wet your hands with water or oil and using a cookie scoop or with your hands, roll the mixture into small round sized balls and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes flipping them midway through the cooking until they are nicely browned on the outside and cooked well. The internal temperature should reach 165-degree F.

Remove from the oven and drain off any leftover excess fat.

Serve them hot along with pasta or serve as an appetizer with marinara sauce on the side. Enjoy!
