Again, this is based on personal preference as meatballs taste equally delicious both fried and baked. In this recipe for Pork Meatballs, the meatballs are lightly fried in a skillet with some oil. However, if you prefer to bake them instead, pop them in a 400° oven for 15-20 minutes flipping halfway through. Broil your meatballs in the last couple of minutes to get that nice brown coating you generally get with frying.
