Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground veal
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 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 extra lean ground veal, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into 16 evenly-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Working in batches if necessary, brown the meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, then return them to the baking sheet.
Once all the meatballs are browned, bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
