Ingredients

1/2 cup zucchini grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a slip mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon (pour the water from the salmon into the bowl - do not discard this is where a lot of the omega-3's are) and combine with egg, orange juice, coconut aminos, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and ginger.
Add the grated zucchini and carrots in the mixing bowl. I pulse mine several times in my small blender until it has a rice like consistency. Add the almond flour. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Prepare the meatballs by scooping the mixture out with a cookie scoop. Place the mixture in between your hands, roll, press together well and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue doing this until you have 12 meatballs.
Cook the meatballs 15 minutes then carefully flip with a pancake spatula and cook another 7 minutes. Then turn the oven to a high broil. Broil on high for 5 minutes. This gives the meatballs a nice crispy outside!
Divide into 4 meal prep containers, top with low sugar BBQ sauce and pair with sliced oranges and almonds served over a salad, brown rice, cauliflower rice or whatever you like!
