Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 onion grated or pureed
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons sage
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

  • 2 15-ounce cans tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients, and stir together using your hands, being careful not to over mix.
    2 pounds ground beef, 1/4 cup oat flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 onion, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons sage, 1 1/2 tablespoons oregano, 1 tablespoon basil, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Gently form the mixture into approximately 1 1/2 inch balls and place just touching in a baking dish.
  • Stir together the sauce ingredients and evenly spread over the meatballs.
    2 15-ounce cans tomato sauce, 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until they're cooked through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10).

Substitutions

  • Substitute ketchup for the tomato paste.
  • Substitute Worcestershire sauce for the coconut aminos.
  • This recipe will also work for pork or turkey meatballs, and you can simply swap the type of meat.
