These Parmesan meatballs are so good and can be served with many different side dishes such as salad, zucchini noodles, riced cauliflower or mashed cauliflower. You’ll definitely wow your family!
Simply marinate the ground beef well with cheese and season with salt, pepper, mayonnaise, marinara sauce, herbs and spices then let the oven do all the work. You can use homemade mayonnaise for the best result.
For marinara sauce, go for homemade. If you buy it from store, go for Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce as it’s the most keto-friendly brand.
If you want to make zoodles like the photo below, simply use a peeler and slice the zucchini into thin and long strips. You can either boil or stir-fry the zoodles to cook it.
Let’s Do It!
Place the ground beef in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and other herbs and spices. Add mayonnaise and a cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the seasoned beef. Mix gently.
Roll about a spoonful of the meat to form around 16 meatballs. Arrange the balls in a baking dish. Spread the marinara sauce on the surface. Encase the baking dish with a foil and bake in the oven preheated at 350 F for 30-40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Rebake for another 5 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese.
Serve on a dish with zucchini noodles or a low carb salad and enjoy!
