Celestial Mammoth Meatball Marinara

These beef meatballs are a delicious and healthy way to get your protein fix. They're made with ground beef, sweet potato, almond flour, and spices, and they're baked in the oven until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy meatball that's perfect for a quick and easy meal.

The inspiration for these meatballs came to me one day when I was browsing the aisles of my local grocery store. I saw a package of ground beef and a bag of sweet potatoes, and I thought, "Hmm, I wonder what I could make with these two ingredients?" I started to experiment with different recipes, and eventually, I came up with these meatballs. They're so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my family and friends.

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sweet potato, almond flour, onion, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.

Why It Works

• The almond flour helps to bind the meatballs together and gives them a slightly nutty flavor.
• The spices add flavor and depth to the meatballs.
• Baking the meatballs in the oven ensures that they're cooked through evenly.
