KETO TUSCAN MEATBALLS



Keto Tuscan Meatballs image

I know what you must be thinking, "no eggs!?" When I first came up with this recipe, I was out of eggs, and it turned out just fine. These meatballs hold together very well due to the ground up onions and cheese, making them easy to handle in the pan. Garnish with basil and serve over zoodles, spaghetti squash, riced cauliflower, or enjoy as is.
