Keto low-carb meatballs with tomato sauce!

Here’s a recipe for keto low-carb meatballs with tomato sauce:

Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef (preferably lean)
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the tomato sauce:

• 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs: ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.
5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the tomato sauce. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
6. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir everything together and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the tomato sauce and gently stir to coat them with the sauce.
8. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes.
9. Serve the meatballs with tomato sauce over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
