Learn how to make delicious Keto Garlic Butter Meatballs. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Creating these delightful meatballs requires just a handful of ingredients, all chosen to enhance flavor while keeping things simple. You’ll need:

– Ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork for extra richness)
– Fresh garlic cloves, minced
– Grated Parmesan cheese
– Almond flour (a perfect low-carb substitute for breadcrumbs)
– Fresh parsley, finely chopped
– Egg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Unsalted butter
– Olive oil

I still remember the first time I helped my mother prepare meatballs. I was perched on a stool, eagerly mixing ingredients while she patiently guided me. It’s these small acts of love that I aim to pass on to my daughters, Olivia and Isabella, as we cook together in our Monterey kitchen.

Instructions

The process of making these meatballs is straightforward and rewarding, perfect for a busy evening or a leisurely weekend meal.

1. **Prepare the Mixture:** In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, Parmesan, almond flour, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands to incorporate all ingredients without overworking the meat.

2. **Shape the Meatballs:** Form the mixture into small, uniform balls. I find that using a spoon helps achieve consistent sizes, ensuring even cooking.

3. **Cook the Meatballs:** In a large skillet over medium heat, melt half the butter with a splash of olive oil. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. This is where the aroma truly takes me back to my grandmother’s kitchen, filled with laughter and stories.

4. **Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:** Once the meatballs are browned and cooked through, remove them from the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the pan, along with additional minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them thoroughly in the luscious garlic butter sauce.

5. **Serve:** Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
