Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 200 grams Cauliflower florets
• 60 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they are finely chopped, similar to rice.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, cauliflower, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg.

Step 5

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Using your hands, form the mixture into 16 small meatballs, each about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely in the oven.

Step 8

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the meatballs with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or as part of a salad or a low-carb pasta dish.
