Ingredients


454 gm Beef, ground, lean (90% lean)
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Parsley, dried
1 tbsp Coconut aminos, Coconut Secret (any brand)
2 tsp Tomato paste, canned
1 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
3/4 tsp Basil, dried
3/4 tsp Oregano, dried
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Coconut flour

Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add a rack if you have one - if not, no biggie. 

  2. Combine all ingredients except coconut flour in a large bowl and mix until incorporated. You can use a fork or your hands for this - focus on not "over-mixing" or your ground beef will turn into a paste, which is not what we want! 

  3. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour and mix in. Coconut flour absorbs moisture, so give it a minute or two before deciding whether or not to add more. You're looking for a consistency that you can roll into balls, but we don't want it overly dry. If you feel like you need more, add a bit at a time until you're happy with the consistency. 

  4. Place the meatballs on your rack or pan. 

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear. 

  6. Serve with barbecue sauce for dipping or over gluten-free pasta with marinara.
