Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Add minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined but avoid overworking the meat.
Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Sear the meatballs on all sides until they develop a golden-brown crust, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low-carb classic beef meatballs with your favorite low-carb sauce or side dish.
