INGREDIENTS

4 oz ground beef 93% lean

1 large egg

1 tbsp almond flour

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup carrot

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

0.5 tsp maple syrup

0.5 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a small loaf pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Finely dice the yellow onion and carrot, and mince the garlic clove.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, sautéed vegetables, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 6

  Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press it firmly into a loaf pan.

• 7

  In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup to create the savory glaze.

• 8

  Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

• 9

  Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through the cooking time.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
