Ingredients
- 450 g ground beef (1 lb)
- 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) almond flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) white ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) fine sea salt
- pinch of allspice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375º and prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper.
- Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl until they are thoroughly mixed. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs.
- Warm a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, pour in the oil. Place the meatballs in the pan, ensuring there’s enough space between them, and cook until they are browned on all sides, approximately 2 minutes for each side. You might need to cook them in batches if your pan isn’t big enough.
- Move the browned meatballs to the baking sheet you prepared earlier and bake them in the oven until they are completely cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165º, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs hot, pairing them with butternut squash noodles or pasta.
Notes
- For a healthier option, opt for lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
- Grate the apple finely to evenly distribute its sweetness in the meatballs.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
