📝 Preparation Steps
1
Finely dice and saute onions and garlic in the avocado oil.
garlic (minced)3 clovesavocado oil1 tbsp
2
Add them in with the meat and the rest of the ingredients (except marinara sauce) and mix well, being careful not to overmix.
3
Use an ice cream scoop or similar to scoop even proportions and shape them into small balls.
4
Heat a 12" skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs for about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes per side. I used tongs to flip them so they wouldn't fall apart.
5
Reduce heat to medium-low and add in marinara sauce. Let it simmer for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to heat up and the meatballs to finish cooking. (if you are not using marinara sauce, see notes below)
6
Serve over noodles or in a sandwich.
