Print Recipe

Delicious keto-friendly Greek meatballs that are perfect for a low-carb diet, infused with Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or Lamb
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Mint
  • 1 Egg
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Olive Oil for Frying

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and give that parsley a good chop.
  2. Mix the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, oregano, mint, and the egg. Add salt and pepper and mix until just combined.
  3. Shape the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls — about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Let it heat up for a couple of minutes.
  5. Fry the Meatballs: Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
  6. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels and let them rest for a minute.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy immediately, or save for later, great on their own or with your favorite sauces!

Notes

For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg. Adjust the seasoning to taste and try different herbs for variety.
