How to Make Low Carb Meatballs Without Breadcrumbs
We actually prefer meatballs without breadcrumbs, and instead we throw a little bit of almond flour into the mixture. Almond flour keeps these meatballs keto friendly, and adds a little texture to help keep them juicy. It’s really easy to make these keto Italian meatballs. Here’s what you’ll do.
How to Cook Meatballs
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of meatballs you like to make. For this recipe, we like to make oversized meatballs. They just look and feel really grand. You can also make smaller, more traditional golfball sized meatballs, and that’s cool too. You’ll just want to adjust your cooking time a bit to account for the size you choose. We like to cook these meatballs at 350° Fahrenheit. For larger meatballs, like in the pictures of this post, we bake them for about 25-30 minutes. If you opt for smaller meatballs, you can stick to 20-25 minutes.
Make it a full meal
You can totally just make the meatballs and toss them in the sauce to use however you like. This works great for meal prep. You can throw them over a salad, over zoodles, with some rice or cauliflower rice. There are lots of options to make it a full meal. In the recipe we decided to go with zucchini noodles, but you do you. Use other veggies or veggie noodles if you want. Sweet potato noodles or butternut squash noodles would be great, too!
