Ingredients
Scale
Let’s keep it simple and straightforward with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (for the sauce)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Feel free to substitute almond flour with coconut flour if you prefer, just remember to adjust the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent.
Instructions
Now, let’s get into the heart of the cooking process. Here’s how you can whip up these meatballs:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly.
- Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the skillet and coat them evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Remember, the secret to this dish is not over-mixing the meatball mixture. Keeping a light touch ensures your meatballs remain tender and juicy.
