Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper.

Using your hands, mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it could make the meat tough.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the coconut oil until melted and hot.

Step 10

Transfer the seared meatballs back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C).
