- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix them together using your hands until well combined.
Add the almond flour, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold in the freshly chopped parsley into the meat mixture.
Using your hands, form small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the meatballs are spaced evenly apart.
Brush the olive oil over the top of each meatball to ensure they brown nicely.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and nicely browned, ensuring their internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
