Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to help the balls hold their shape.
-
In a shallow dish, place the flour. Roll each chilled ball in the flour, coating it evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and place the coated balls back on the baking sheet.
-
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated balls to the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the balls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Once cooked, transfer the Armadillo Balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm.
