Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley so everything is ready to mix.
- Mixing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Cooking: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1–2 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and browned. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra color.
- Finishing: Let them rest for 3–5 minutes. Warm the marinara sauce and serve it over the meatballs or on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan.
Notes
Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier results. Don’t overmix. Let meatballs rest after baking to lock in juices.
