Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef. Mix thoroughly using your hands to ensure even distribution.
Add the almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fennel seeds, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley to the meat mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.
Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, searing them on all sides until they develop a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Transfer the seared meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. These meatballs pair well with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete Paleo meal.
