Preheat oven to 450. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil, set a wire rack on baking sheet and mist rack with cooking spray. Combine meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands. Form 1 1/2″ balls; place on rack. Bake meatballs until just cooked through – 12-14 minutes.
While meatballs are baking, toast Israeli couscous in 1 tsp oil over medium-high heat till popping and light brown. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then cover and lower heat to simmer.
