- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and almond flour.
Step 3
Add the chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients together with your hands or a spoon until well combined, but do not overmix to prevent tough meatballs.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch round meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per meatball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy them on their own or with your favorite low-carb sauce.
