Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 Large egg
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
- 250 milliliters Low-carb marinara sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
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 ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 3
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into 1.5-inch (4 cm) meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in flavor but doesn't cook them fully.
Step 5
Transfer the meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
If serving with marinara sauce, warm the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat while the meatballs bake.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and serve immediately. Spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs if using and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious and healthy low-carb meatballs as a main dish or alongside your favorite low-carb sides!
