INGREDIENTS
5 ounces lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon almond flour
1 medium zucchini
1/2 cup fresh marinara sauce
Fresh basil (3 sprigs)
2 cloves garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if baking the meatballs. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them in a non-stick skillet.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg white, almond flour, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and chopped fresh basil if desired. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through. If pan-frying, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked.
While the meatballs are cooking, spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer. Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, just until slightly softened, or serve raw for extra crunch.
Warm the fresh marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the warm marinara sauce, and arrange the beef meatballs on top.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired, then serve immediately.
