Description
Classic comfort food gets a keto twist with these tender, juicy meatballs. Flavored with oregano, garlic, and Parmesan, and bound with ground flaxseed instead of breadcrumbs, they’re just as satisfying without the carbs. Serve them with zoodles, marinara, or enjoy solo for a protein-rich bite.
