Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground bison
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix together thoroughly with your hands until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape: Form the mixture into 1 ½ inch balls (about two tablespoons) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the meat is used, making about 12-14 meatballs.
- Bake: Cook for 15-16 minutes, flipping halfway through. The meatballs should be slightly brown on each side.
- Serve: Optional: To serve with marinara sauce, heat the sauce in a medium saucepan and add the meatballs. Let them simmer for 2-4 minutes to coat in the sauce.
Notes
- Chill the meat mixture before rolling the meatballs to help them stick together and cook evenly.
- Make sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed for even flavor distribution.
- If using marinara sauce, simmer the meatballs in the sauce for a few minutes before serving.
- Bison is lean, so a bit of water-and-protein release may occur. Simply brush it off or spoon it away once the meatballs are done cooking.
