INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles and set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat, then roll into 1.5-inch meatballs.

• 4

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes per side until a brown crust forms.

• 5

  Pour the sugar-free marinara sauce into the skillet with the meatballs, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

• 6

  Flash-sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 1-2 minutes until just tender, then plate and top with the meatballs and sauce.
