Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
- Mince the garlic.
- Chop the fresh spearmint.
- Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Chop the artichoke hearts.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, egg, chopped spearmint, dried oregano, salt, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped artichokes.
- Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Make sure not to overwork the meat mixture, as this can make the meatballs tough.
- Scoop out small portions of the meat mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls using your hands. You should get approximately 18-20 meatballs, depending on the size.
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- These meatballs are delicious served with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice to keep it paleo-friendly.
Tips:
- For a juicier meatball, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
- If you prefer, you can fry the meatballs in a skillet with some olive oil instead of baking them in the oven.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
- You can make a larger batch and freeze the extra meatballs for a quick meal option on busy days.
