Ingredients

Scale

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands for best results. Then, scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture and roll each into a meatball. You should end up with around 20 meatballs.
  3. Bake: Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Lightly sprinkle the tops with additional salt and pepper. Bake them in the oven for 24 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  4. Serve: Serve the meatballs as you prefer. They are excellent on spaghetti noodles with your favorite spaghetti sauce, or as a hearty appetizer or main dish.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Ground beef with 80/20 fat ratio helps keep the meatballs juicy and flavorful.
  • You can substitute almond flour with regular breadcrumbs if gluten is not a concern.
  • Ensure meatballs are spaced properly for even cooking.
  • Check for doneness by cutting a meatball in half; the inside should no longer be pink.
  • These meatballs freeze well; just thaw and reheat before serving.
