Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 20 meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear each meatball for about 2 minutes on each side until they are browned.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
In a saucepan, heat the low-carb BBQ sauce over low heat.
Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and gently toss them in the warmed BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Serve hot with your choice of low-carb sides or a fresh green salad.
