Creating Mini Meatball Marinara Bites is straightforward! Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Ingredients for Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Heat Marinara Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
6. Add Meatballs to Sauce: Once cooked, add the meatballs to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the marinara sauce.
7. Prepare Rolls: If using mini sub rolls, slice them open but keep them intact on one side. If using skewers, be ready to assemble.
8. Assemble Bites: For rolls, place a meatball inside each mini sub and drizzle additional marinara on top. For skewers, thread each meatball onto a skewer and drizzle with sauce.
9. Garnish: If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an elegant touch.
10. Serve Warm: Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

These steps will ensure that your Mini Meatball Marinara Bites turn out delicious and satisfying!
