In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, almond flour, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped parsley, and the egg.
Season the mixture with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Form the pork mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. You should have about 16-18 pork balls.
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the pork balls and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven or transfer the pork balls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if your skillet is not ovenproof.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pork balls are fully cooked through.
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. They pair well with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
