Keto Meatballs
Moist and juicy meatballs, made with shredded zucchini (no breadcrumbs in sight!). Caramelize the exteriors in a frying pan, or use an air fryer for a quick shortcut. We love these served on a bed of zoodles with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese! 3 NET CARBS per serving (meatballs only)

In a mixing bowl, add all meatball ingredients (except oil). Stir until well combined.
Form golf-ball sized meatballs. This should be about 16 meatballs.
Add avocado oil to a skillet over medium high heat, and add meatballs. Allow one side to caramelize, then roll meatballs over to brown all sides and cook through.
If desired, add marinara sauce and simmer until heated through.
