Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 whole Large egg
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low-carb marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients together until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into 16-20 meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the low-carb marinara sauce in a large pan over medium heat.
Once the meatballs are done, carefully transfer them to the marinara sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to absorb some sauce flavor.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
