Step 1

Wrap your grated cucumber in a few paper towels or place it in a cheese cloth and wring out as much liquid as possible.

Step 2

Then add your grated cucumber to a large mixing bowl along with the rest of your ingredients and stir until fully combined. (Taste and adjust your salt and pepper if needed.)

Step 3

Cover the bowl and keep your tzatziki in the refrigerator while you prepare the meatballs.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray a baking dish with cooking spray).

Step 5

Then add your meatball ingredients to a large bowl and mix them together with your hands.

Step 6

Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and place the balls on your prepared baking sheet. Then place the meatballs in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.(Alternatively, you can brown the meatballs in a saute pan before baking them.) (If browning them first, I'd suggest checking the meatballs at 13 minutes to see if they're done. Sometimes they'll cook faster this way.)

Step 7

Once done, serve immediately with your tzatziki and lemon wedges on the side.
