Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons 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 lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the coconut aminos, almond flour, and egg to the bowl. Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a meatball. Place the meatball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the meatballs about 1 inch apart.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and nicely browned on the outside.
Once done, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot with your favorite Whole30-compliant sauce or side dish.
