The Greek yogurt in this recipe could be replaced with any other natural yogurt. The pumpkin oil, used for the topping, could be replaced with olive oil.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: 3-4

Ingredients
For the meatballs:
500 g ground chicken breast
¾ cup almond meal
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
¾ cup coconut flour
For the topping:
2 tablespoons pumpkin oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and line the baking dish with aluminium foil, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond meal, chopped parsley, yogurt, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and egg. Mix all the ingredients well.

  • Using your hands, form the mixture into the meatballs. Roll each meatball in the coconut flour, before placing it into the baking dish.


  • Bake the meatballs for about 20-25 minutes, until almost cooked through, and then turn the oven to broil for about 5 minutes to create a crispy top.

  • Before serving the meatballs, top them with the pumpkin oil and sesame seeds.
