Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 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 ground beef, parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together using your hands until everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto a plate.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to crowd the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatballs for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, possibly garnished with fresh parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
