Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the egg, almond flour, coconut aminos, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes into the pork mixture.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until they are well combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pork mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Place the pork balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and slightly golden on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Whole30 Savory Pork Balls warm as a delightful appetizer or pair them with your favorite Whole30 sides for a complete meal.
