Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 60 g almond flour
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut aminos.
Mix all the ingredients gently using your hands or a large spoon until thoroughly combined but not overmixed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized beef balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the beef balls with the extra virgin olive oil to help them brown nicely while cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the beef balls are browned and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve these savory beef balls warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
