Dish up these meatballs for your flavor-loving guests or serve alongside a bright cucumber salad as an entrée. The keto- and Whole30-friendly mixture of shredded zucchini and ground pork is accentuated by Thai fixings like jalapeño, garlic, ginger, and lime, and a drizzle of sauce that manages to be salty, sweet, and spicy all at once seals the deal.

Directions To make the meatballs: Step 1 Set the zucchini in a sieve in the sink or over a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and let drain one hour, then press down to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Step 2 Preheat oven to 375F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Step 3 In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients (including the remaining salt) and mix well by hand. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls (you should get about 36). Step 4 Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165F. To make the sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over the meatballs or serve as a dipping sauce. Rate this Recipe Share this Recipe How much did you enjoy this recipe? How much did you enjoy this recipe?

Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 3 Replies Erica B February 27, 2019 Lysa, please pardon my misspelling of your name in my previous comment. Autocorrect attacked, and I didn't proofread well enough! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Erica B February 27, 2019 Lisa, I suggest using less coconut flour. It's very different from almond flour; it's much more absorbent, and 1/2 cup might make these meatballs very dry and grainy. Almond flour and coconut flour are not interchangeable without altering the other ingredients to accommodate the different characteristics of the substituted flour. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. [email protected] February 27, 2019 You absolutely could, Lysa, you may just find the meatballs are a bit more compact than they would be with the almond flour since coconut flour tends to be a finer grind (and we think a hint of coconut would be a great addition!). If you give it a try, please let us know how it goes! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Sheri February 21, 2019 Yum! Can’t wait to make these.
