Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or
  spray with nonstick spray.

  feta and parmesan cheeses, garlic, green onions, parsley and season with salt
  and pepper.  Mix everything together using a spoon, or your hands, until all
  combined.
• 3 Using a small to medium cookie scoop (I used this 1.5 tablespoon scoop
  [https://urlgeni.us/amzn/scop]), make 2-inch sized balls and place on baking
  sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick spray).  You should
  get about 18 meatballs.
• 4 Pop the sheet pan in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly
  browned and cooked through.
• 5 Squeeze a little lemon juice over top (if desired) and serve alongside a
  Mediterranean salad
