Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or pork
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup keto-friendly marinara sauce no sugar added
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, almond flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then form into small meatballs.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then transfer them to a baking dish.
  • Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Brown the meatballs in the skillet first rather than baking them raw in the sauce - that sear is where most of the flavor comes from. Keto Swap: traditional breadcrumbs are replaced with almond flour.
