PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, whisked egg, almond flour, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

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

• 3

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

• 4

  Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover with a lid.

• 5

  Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for 8-10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

• 6

  In a separate small skillet, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles with a pinch of salt for 2 minutes until just tender but still firm.

• 7

  Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the meatballs and plenty of the warm marinara sauce.
