Paleo Meatballs in Tomato Sauce Recipe

These Paleo meatballs are a tasty and nutritious take on a classic dish. They are gluten-free and high in protein because they are made with almond flour rather than breadcrumbs. The tomato sauce is flavorful and satisfying, and it goes perfectly with the meatballs. This recipe is simple to prepare and ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 egg
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 can crushed tomatoes (14 oz)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, sea salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
