Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams extra lean ground veal
- 1 unit large egg
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 30 grams almond flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 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 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and almond flour.
Add the chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together with your hands or a spoon until well combined, but do not overmix to prevent tough meatballs.
Shape the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch round meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per meatball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy them on their own or with your favorite low-carb sauce.
