Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, about 16-18 total, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs, searing them on all sides until they are browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the seared meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-12 minutes until they are cooked through.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, add the Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce and gently simmer over low heat.
Step 7
Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the skillet with the BBQ sauce and toss to coat.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
