My husband and I both liked the meatballs. I’m so glad I was able to find a recipe that is completely grain free yet produces moist meatballs. Thank you!

I’d never added almond flour and eggs to any meatball recipe in the past and it’s made ALL the difference!!! 10/10

Turned out pretty good. I’m going to put this in my folder for next month too. I added a few more spices to it, like garlic powder, red chili flakes and paprika for color.

such a simple and delicious recipe, I added too much Italian seasoning but other then that it was perfect, best keto dinner I've had so far.

This was a great dish! I was surprised with how much I liked it, especially because I’m a very picky eater. Highly recommend!

I can't speak highly enough about this recipe. These meatballs turned out great! We used ground turkey and it worked well. We used Rao marinara sauce and it was fantastic too! We couldn't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch the following day.

Nice and quick! we used Mozzarella instead of Parmesan and it was still very good.

It’s a nice easy recipe and quick to make. I add Rao’s sauce and riced cauliflower and add some shredded mozzarella on top.
