Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup paleo BBQ sauce
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 beef, ground pork, almond flour, and egg.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin to the meat mixture. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet and brush the tops with paleo BBQ sauce.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, alongside additional paleo BBQ sauce for dipping.
