Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground veal
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra lean ground veal, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Form the mixture into 16 evenly-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Working in batches if necessary, brown the meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, then return them to the baking sheet.
Step 7
Once all the meatballs are browned, bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
