Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together using your hands until everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them onto a plate.
Step 5
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to crowd the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatballs for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 9
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the meatballs warm, possibly garnished with fresh parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
