Directions
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed. Roll the mixture into round patties, about the size of golf balls.
Arrange the rissoles on the prepared baking tray.
Slightly flatten each rissole with the back of a spoon, then lightly brush the top of each one with vegetable oil. This will give your rissoles a nice golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the rissoles are well browned, and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm with your desired side salads or veggies.
