Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside for use in the meatball mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and chopped onions.
Add the minced garlic, egg, and almond flour to the meat mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it along with the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Portion the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the meatballs to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a protein-packed snack or part of a main meal.
