Ingredients
- 1 pound Extra lean ground veal
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra lean ground veal, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Step 3
Add salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the veal mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into medium-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, which should make approximately 12-15 meatballs.
Step 5
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown them on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 6
Once all the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo extra lean ground veal meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
