Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or coconut aminos

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the mixture stays firm.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the raw walnuts until they form a coarse meal texture. Do not over-process; you want some small chunks for texture.

Step 4

Transfer the ground walnuts to a mixing bowl. Add the grated zucchini, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Drizzle the avocado oil and soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over the mixture. Mix everything well until it forms a cohesive, moldable mixture. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the texture is workable.

Step 6

Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into small balls using your hands. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. They should be crispy on the outside and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the meatballs cool slightly. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly marinara sauce or over zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
