Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, and minced garlic. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Mix again to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the meat.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the meat mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these Keto Oven-Baked Italian Meatballs with a side of zucchini noodles, a fresh mozzarella salad, or your favorite keto-friendly sauce.
