Calories 88kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbs onion finely minced or grated
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced - grate or use garlic press
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 tbs almond meal
- 1 tbs Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 jar pasta sauce paleo friendly
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and place garlic in a garlic press (or mince).In a medium to large bowl, add ground beef, eggs, seasonings, garlic, onion, and almond flour. Mix together well.Make small balls about the same size, and place them in a hot frying pan with a little bit of oil on medium-high heat, or place them on a baking rack on top of a baking sheet if you're going to bake them.Turn meatballs every 3-4 minutes when they start to turn golden brown. Continue flipping until all sides are brown and cooked. I usually flip them 4-5 times.Optional step: I like to place meatballs on a plate and pour out any extra juices leaving a tablespoon or two left in the pan. Add marinara sauce into pan and place meatballs back in. Cook until sauce is bubbly.If baking: preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes. They should start to turn slightly brown and be even in color.Serve with zoodles if paleo, or gluten-free spaghetti if you're gluten-free. Or regular spaghetti if you're not on any kind of restriction.
