Calories: 88kcal
Ingredients
- 8 to 9 ounces ground pork
- 10 to 12 cloves minced garlic yes, a whole head of garlic!
- ¼ cup almond flour or almond meal
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg *optional; see Note 1
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients (8 to 9 ounces ground pork, 10 to 12 cloves minced garlic, ¼ cup almond flour or almond meal, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning) together in a bowl until well-combined.
- Form into meatballs. You can use your hands or a large cookie scoop—a #40 cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) is the perfect size.
- Use them right away or freeze on a baking sheet until firm, then save in a freezer bag for later.
- Pan-frying instructions: Heat some oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the fresh or frozen meatballs and cook them for 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 °F.
- Baking or air-frying instructions: Bake meatballs at 400 °F for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 °F.
Notes
- Egg: Use it if you prefer a firmer meatball. The egg helps bind the ingredients together but it is not necessary.
- Nutritional information is calculated per meatball.
