Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 30 g Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp 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 mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Use a small ice cream scoop or your hands to form the mixture into evenly-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 16-18 meatballs.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, lightly sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. This step helps lock in the juices.
Step 5
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 6
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside a low-carb side dish like zucchini noodles or a fresh salad.
