These Keto Beef Meatballs are a delicious low-carb option perfect for anyone following a ketogenic lifestyle. Made with ground beef, Parmesan cheese, and almond flour, these meatballs are baked to perfection and served with a flavorful low-carb marinara sauce, garnished with fresh basil for an added burst of freshness.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 1 cup low-carb marinara sauce (no sugar added)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.
  3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. Heat Marinara Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, warm the low-carb marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
  6. Serve: Once the meatballs are done, plate them and spoon the warm marinara sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh basil for a refreshing finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the almond flour you use is finely ground for better texture.
  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped fresh parsley or basil into the meatball mixture.
  • To keep the meatballs moist, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
  • Leftover meatballs can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Check meatball doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
