Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup coconut oil
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup, grated carrot
• 1 cup, grated zucchini
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten egg wash

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and eggs, stirring until a dough forms. Knead briefly to bring the dough together, then wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat, if any.

Step 4

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Stir in grated carrot, zucchini, tomato paste, thyme, oregano, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the dough into rectangles (approximately 4x6 inches).

Step 8

Place a generous spoonful of the meat mixture onto one half of each dough piece, ensuring you leave space at the edges.

Step 9

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a pocket. Seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.

Step 10

Place each formed pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
