Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finely chop 0.5 cup of onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onions, minced garlic, 1 large egg, and 0.25 cup almond flour.
Add 0.25 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper to the mixture.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the meatballs tender.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned.
Once all sides of the meatballs are browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
