Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for spraying)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough meatballs.
  3. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, roll the meat mixture into 1-1.5 inch meatballs. This should make about 12-16 meatballs, depending on the size.
  4. Cook the Meatballs: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the meatballs in the basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each one. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the meatballs halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
  5. Serve: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with a keto-friendly dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
