Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, almond flour, fresh parsley, coconut aminos, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until thoroughly combined. Do not overwork the mixture as it can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion the meat mixture and roll into balls. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they’re not crowded. Sear the meatballs for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet with the meatballs to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Step 9
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
