Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces ground pork sausage
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, ground beef, almond flour, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture and mix well with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Place the meatball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the meatballs evenly on the sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches and cook until they are browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 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. They can be enjoyed alone or tossed with a low-carb marinara sauce for extra flavor.
