Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1/2 cup Almond flour
- 1/2 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Large egg
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and mix all the ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the meatballs remain tender.
- Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, and place them on a plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a generous amount of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, searing them on all sides until they are golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared meatballs to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve over zucchini noodles or with creamy keto marinara sauce.
