Meatballs

I try to make meatballs every two weeks, they are relativity easy and are a great staple to have in the fridge to make many different meals, or just snack on.

Ingredients:
2 pounds of Ground Meat (I used Beef 85/15)
1 egg
2 tablespoons of parsley
1 tablespoon of cilantro
1 tablespoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of Marjoram
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon of black pepper
¼ cup of Almond meal or coconut flour

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350
Place ground meat in a mixing bowl

Add the spices, flour/meal and egg to the mixing bowl

Using your hands mix all the ingredients together until all the ingredients are well blended
Roll the meat into 1 to 1 and ½ inch balls and place on the roasting rack

Place the meatballs into the oven for 45 minutes

Hint: I used a stainless steel pan with a raised rack and a silicone-baking sheet. I put the silicone-baking sheet under the raised rack to catch all the fat and drippings from the meat. This will make cleaning everything after the meatballs are finished much easier. Also, using the raised rack will make the meatballs crispy.
