Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 30 g Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Use a small ice cream scoop or your hands to form the mixture into evenly-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 16-18 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, lightly sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. This step helps lock in the juices.
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside a low-carb side dish like zucchini noodles or a fresh salad.
