Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, almond flour, eggs, parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of egg or flour remain; overmixing tightens the texture.
