Who’s ready to “Make the Meatballs”?

Preheat your oven to 375*

Line one or two half sheet pans with parchment paper

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position

Slice mozzarella into 24 small chunks, set aside

In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, oil, onion, egg, almond flour, parmesan cheese, parsley, Mrs. Dash (herb), basil, salt and pepper

Mix just until combined, important *(DO NOT OVER MIX)*

Divide meat into 24 even pieces (golf size)

Wrap each piece around a piece of mozzarella cheese

Roll into a ball ensuring all of the cheese is completely covered by the meatball

Space evenly on the baking sheet

Bake for 30 minutes, rotating after 15 minutes

(If a little of the cheese leaks out, don't panic)

Serve with the homemade marinara sauce, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and basil if you like

Remove meatballs from the oven, gently stir into the sauce, and let simmer on the stovetop for an additional 15 minutes

Taste for salt and pepper!

Serve with your choice of Keto pasta or a nice salad!
