Skewered Meatball Sub Bites
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Soak the skewers in water. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    For the meatballs, mix the beef, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic paste, salt, oregano, parsley, basil, and chili flakes in a large bowl until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Weigh 1.13 ounces of the mixture and shape it around 1 mozzarella cube. Roll it in your hands to seal tightly. Set the meatball on the prepared pan; repeat with the remaining mozzarella and meatball mixture to make 24 balls.

  4. 4

    On a lightly floured cutting board or other work surface, roll out the pizza dough. Cut it into 12 even strips.

  5. 5

    Place 2 meatballs on the work surface and coil 1 strip around them, alternating sides to create an S shape. Hold down the first meatball with your fingertips and gently push the skewer through it and the dough, twisting the skewer slightly until it exits the other side.

  6. 6

    In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Using a pastry brush, brush the butter mixture over the dough.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with warmed marinara sauce.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
