Easy gluten-free meatballs that are also Paleo and AIP-friendly. They pack a punch of herbs and FLAVOR! Without the potential allergens! You will love this for a Sunday meatball recipe and it's great for meal prep, too.
Sea salt and black pepper to taste(omit pepper for AIP)
1/4 cup arrowroot starch or potato starch(arrowroot for AIP)
2 Tbsp coconut oil
Optional: More parsley to garnish
Optional sides:
Coconut yogurt or Avocado Tzatziki (recipe below) or Lemon Juice
Green Greek Salad (greens, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, avocado with red wine vinegar, fresh dill, dried oregano, and extra-virgin olive oil)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350f degrees.
Add parsley, mint, garlic, and roughly chopped scallions to a food processor. Mix until all pieces are very small and looks almost like a pesto.
Pour mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add ground meat into the mixture and with clean hands, start combining everything. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
Prep the flour/starch in a separate mixing bowl.
Using a Tablespoon or scooper, evenly size out the meatballs and roll into balls in your hands.
One by one, roll meatballs into the flour/starch and shake excess off, roll again if necessary to keep the shape. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a large cast iron skillet or another skillet of choice, add 2 Tbsp coconut oil on medium-high heat.
Add meatballs to the skillet after a couple of minutes, rolling them over once and then placing your skillet in the oven to finish for 6 mins or so.
Serve with a Greek Salad or sides of choice! (I served mine with coconut yogurt and a salad, you could also try my Avocado Tzatziki sauce if you want more GARLIC!!)
