Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into thin noodles and set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, then form into 5 or 6 evenly sized meatballs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the meatballs, searing them for 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides.
Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the beef is cooked through.
While the meatballs simmer, heat the olive oil in a separate small skillet over medium-high heat.
Sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp.
Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the meatballs and warm marinara sauce.
