Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, coconut aminos, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until they are well combined but not overworked.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place the meatball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the meatballs evenly apart.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the meatballs or brush them lightly with oil for added flavor and browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired, and paired with your favorite Paleo-friendly sauce or side dish.
