Keto Garlic Bread Meatball Sliders
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 medium egg, whisked
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ pound ground beef
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- A teaspoon dried oregano
- A teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup low carb marinara sauce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add mozzarella, 2 tablespoons butter, and almond flour.
Microwave for 45 seconds, then stir. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds, then add baking powder and vinegar. Stir until a soft ball of dough forms.
Separate the ball into two even portions, then cut each portion into four. Roll each into a ball, then slightly press down to flatten. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on the bottom and sides. Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and garlic powder, then brush over the rolls.
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, basil, oregano, and pepper until combined. Form into eight meatballs, about 2 heaping tablespoons of beef per ball. Sprinkle with salt.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil. Add the meatballs to the pan and sear, turning to brown each side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer over low heat, then add marinara sauce to the pan and cover for 7-10 minutes or until the meatballs have an internal temperature of at least 160°F.
Slice each roll in half like a bun and place one meatball and 2 tablespoons sauce on each bottom. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan, then place the tops on the sliders and secure with a toothpick, if desired.
