• 60 grams Almond Flour
• 50 grams Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini and set it aside.

Finely chop the red bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, squeezed zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, and egg.

Add the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into approximately 16 meatballs of equal size and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown during the baking process.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10
