Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Whole30-compliant ground pork sausage
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Use your hands to mix everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Form the sausage mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, placing each one on the prepared baking sheet. You should have roughly 12-14 meatballs.
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown and maintain moisture during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs alongside your favorite Whole30-compliant sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
