Ingredients
- 16 ounces ground pork sausage
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 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 bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, ground beef, almond flour, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
Add the egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture and mix well with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Place the meatball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the meatballs evenly on the sheet.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches and cook until they are browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed alone or tossed with a low-carb marinara sauce for extra flavor.
