Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix again until the spices are evenly distributed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, each roughly the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, gently transfer the meatballs to the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (72°C), ensuring they are cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot as a main dish with your favorite keto-friendly sauce or accompanying dish.
