Ingredients
  

For the meatballs
  • 1 lb ground beef Ensure it's lean for the best texture and flavor.
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour Keeps the meatballs moist.
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the garlic butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
For garnish
  • Fresh parsley For garnish before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal cooking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated parmesan, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything until well combined—but don’t overdo it!
  3. Shape Your Meatballs: With your hands, form small balls—about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake Away: Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the meatballs are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Toss and Serve: Upon removing the meatballs from the oven, add them to the skillet with garlic butter and gently toss to coat.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Consider topping the meatballs with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream. For crispy meatballs, broil for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
