Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 whole Large egg
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low-carb marinara sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Step 3
Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients together until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Form the mixture into 16-20 meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Step 7
While the meatballs are baking, heat the low-carb marinara sauce in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the meatballs are done, carefully transfer them to the marinara sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to absorb some sauce flavor.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
