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 beef, ground pork, almond flour, and egg.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin to the meat mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the browned meatballs back onto the baking sheet and brush the tops with paleo BBQ sauce.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, alongside additional paleo BBQ sauce for dipping.
