Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef
• 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 salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup unsweetened tomato sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 keto-friendly sandwich rolls

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Roll the mixture into approximately 16 meatballs, ensuring they are equal in size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once the meatballs are browned, add the unsweetened tomato sauce to the skillet. Sprinkle in the dried oregano and dried basil, stirring to combine. Cover the skillet and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

Slice the keto-friendly sandwich rolls in half, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Place four meatballs onto each sandwich roll, drizzling a generous amount of sauce over them.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the meatballs.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious and keto-friendly meatball sandwiches!
