    The Best Paleo Meatballs

    March 9, 2020 by [email protected] 2 Comments

    Growing up in an Italian family left me with no choice but to love a classic spaghetti and meatballs dinner. The best part? When my mom told me to go into the pantry and pick out which pasta shape I wanted that night. Rigatoni, angel hair, ziti, bow ties, you name it we had it.

    I usually picked the classic penne or ziti so I could stick my fork through the center. (It was fun, what can I say?!) After going gluten-free, I realized that not only did I have to skip the pasta, I also had to skip the meatballs! What was I supposed to do now, drink the sauce?! There had to be a better way. I've been playing around with meatball recipes for the last few years, and they never came out quite right - until now.

    Helpful Tips

    • I discovered recently that using my Kitchen Aid Mixer is a LIFESAVER. I can easily blend the meatball mixture without getting my hands dirty! (Takes about 30 seconds on low.) You can also use a spoon to blend it up, but I find the mixer to be a lot easier!
    • Want the perfect size meatballs? Use a ice cream scoop! I use the scoop to get the mixture out of the bowl, then give them a quick touch up with my hand to make sure they're round.

    Step by Step Instructions

    1. Add all ingredients into a bowl, use a spoon to mash until fully combined. OR I prefer using my Kitchen Aid mixer. (Takes less time to combine!)
    2. Using a non-stick pan, turn the stove top to medium heat.
    3. Once the pan has warmed up, start shaping your meatballs and adding them to the pan one at a time.
    4. You'll know they're ready to flip when you can gently push them with a fork and they slide on the pan. (Takes about five minutes depending on how big they are.) Once they're golden brown on the bottom, flip them over! Cook until they're golden brown on all sides.
    5. You can eat them as is, or add them to your tomato sauce!
