Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 200 grams Cauliflower florets
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they are finely chopped, similar to rice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, cauliflower, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 16 small meatballs, each about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or as part of a salad or a low-carb pasta dish.
