Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients until they are well combined, but do not overmix as this can result in tough meatballs.
Step 4
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 16 meatballs.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add meatballs in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and sear them on each side for about 2 minutes, until they are browned. This step is crucial for both flavor and texture.
Step 6
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Serve the meatballs warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a Paleo-friendly dipping sauce such as a homemade marinara or a spicy aioli.
