Ingredients
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 small red onion, diced (about 240 g)
- – 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic vinegar
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) dried thyme
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) dried basil
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground black pepper
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) dried tarragon
- – 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
- – 1 egg, or flax egg
- – 1/4 cup (30 g) oat flour, *see note
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F to begin preheating.
- Pour vegetable oil into a pan and heat over medium flame. When the oil is hot, toss in the diced red onion and cook until it begins to soften, approximately 4 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and dried herbs along with salt and pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In the meantime, place the other ingredients into a large bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture to the bowl and blend everything together using clean hands until well mixed.
- Form the mixture into balls with a medium-sized cookie scoop and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked and have a golden brown color.
- You can use them immediately or store them in the freezer for future use.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour or almond flour as a substitute for a gluten-free option.
- Opt for lean ground beef to prevent excessive grease in the meatballs.
- Avoid overmixing the ingredients to ensure tender meatballs.
