• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp ground allspice
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp oil (for frying)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix together the beef, onion, almond flour, egg, salt, garlic powder, allspice, nutmeg, and black pepper. Combine until evenly mixed.

2. 2

   Then form into 24 small meatballs. Use about 2 tbsp of the mixture for each meatball.

   In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
