Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes, if using.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. You should have approximately 18-20 meatballs.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the skewers alternately with meatballs, zucchini slices, bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes.
Brush each skewer lightly with olive oil.
Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve skewer warm as an appetizer or a main dish paired with a fresh salad.
