Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lamb
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.

Step 3

Add the egg and almond flour to the bowl. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Season the mixture with ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix again until the spices are well distributed.

Step 5

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should have around 16-18 meatballs.

Step 6

Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 70°C (160°F) ensures they are fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the meatballs warm with your choice of side dishes or as an appetizer.
