- Scoop the meat mixture into 12 meatballs and lay them on the baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- While the meatballs are cooking, use a julienne peeler, a spiralizer, or mandolin set on the julienne setting and cut the zucchini into “noodles”. Place the noodles in a large microwave dish with a lid and microwave for 2 minutes.
