• If baking the meatballs, preheat the oven to 375F.
• In a small frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and then add the diced onion. Fry for 2-3 minutes and then add the garlic. Fry for a few more minutes until softened and golden brown.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the beyond meat, spices, breadcrumbs and onion/garlic mixture. Use a spatula or fork to break up the meat and then mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Divide the mixture into 12 portions. Use your hands to roll the portions in balls.

For Pan-Frying

• Brush a thin layer of olive oil in a heavy pan, such as a cast iron pan. Heat the pan until hot. Drop in the meatballs and let them fry for a minute or two, without moving them. Gently roll them over in the pan and let fry for a few more minutes, before rolling a third time. Fry them for about 10 minutes, until a light char appears and the meatballs have turned brown.

For Baking in the Oven

• Put the meatballs in a baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until the meatballs have turned brown and are cooked through.
