Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Extra lean ground veal
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra lean ground veal, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the veal mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the mixture into medium-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, which should make approximately 12-15 meatballs.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown them on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Once all the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo extra lean ground veal meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
