Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 large skillet
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 meat thermometer optional
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, eggs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Scoop out the mixture and form it into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
- While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the skillet with the garlic butter and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
