Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp dried basil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix again until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, each roughly the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, gently transfer the meatballs to the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (72°C), ensuring they are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the meatballs hot as a main dish with your favorite keto-friendly sauce or accompanying dish.
