Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, eggs, minced onion, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Add the parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
