1 small zucchini, grated
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
1.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the avocado oil and basil. Mix well. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 12 balls.
2.
Tip: Depending on the size of your sauté pan, you may need to cook the meatballs in batches. Overcrowding the pan will keep the meatballs from browning well.
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
Using a large oven-safe sauté pan or cast iron skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.
2 tablespoons avocado oil
¾ teaspoon sea salt
Place the meatballs in the hot pan, leaving space between them. Use a large spoon to turn the meatballs gently and cook until brown (about 30 seconds per side).
4.
Once meatballs are thoroughly browned, remove the sauté pan from the stovetop and place in the preheated oven. Bake until the meatballs feel firm to the touch (about 8 to 10 minutes).
5.
3.
1 garlic clove, minced
Fresh basil or chives, chopped (for garnish)
½ teaspoon pepper or ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Garnish with basil and serve.
6.
Serving size: 4 meatballs and 1 cup steamed zucchini noodles. Top with 2 tbsp dairy-free pesto.
