Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 250 milliliters Sugar-free marinara sauce (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of avocado oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until everything is well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatballs dense.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, making approximately 16-18 meatballs in total.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. When the oil is hot, sear the meatballs in batches for about 2 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160°F (71°C).
Step 7
If desired, in the last 5 minutes of baking, warm the sugar-free marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs warm with the marinara sauce on the side or spooned over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
