Ingredients
- 1 pound ground venison
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix the meat.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or whole grain pasta.
