Have you noticed how almost all snack foods are bad for you?
It's like there's a law that anything quick and easy to grab has to
be filled with carbohydrates or straight up sugar.
Until now.
These Easy Baked Meatballs are the perfect, anti-high-carb snack to
enjoy on a busy afternoon.
This is also makes for a healthy, quick week-night dinner.
2 lbs ground pork
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground fennel
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Dash pepper
2 tsp coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine the ground pork with all of the spices. Don't
be afraid to get your hands dirty!
Place a skillet over medium heat and warm the coconut oil. Add the
garlic, onion, celery, carrots, pecans and parsley. Cook for about
3 minutes, until soft. Set the mixture aside to cool.
Add the vegetable mixture into the ground pork and combine well. Use
your hands to form golf ball sized meatballs.
