Sheet-Pan Meatballs with Marinara & Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 cups marinara sauce (check label for GF, no added sugar)
• 4 medium zucchini, spiralized

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F and set a wire rack over a baking sheet, if available.

2. 2

   Mix ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic, and oregano until just combined, then form into 16 meatballs.

3. 3

   Arrange the meatballs on the rack, spaced apart — baking them elevated like this lets excess fat drip away below instead of the meatballs sitting in it and frying rather than baking.

4. 4

   Bake 18-20 minutes until cooked through.

5. 5

   Warm the marinara sauce in a skillet, toss in the zucchini noodles for 2 minutes until just tender, and top with the baked meatballs.
