INGREDIENT NOTES:

BEEF:

• Use the bean to prepare these meatballs. It is best to use chicken thighs to prepare the juicy and flavorful meatballs. You can also use chicken or turkey to prepare the light version.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Use the almond flour to bind these meatballs. It is used in place of the breadcrumbs to make the keto recipe. You can also use coconut flour instead, if required, but in small quantities, as it makes them dry.

KETO KETCHUP:

• Use the ketchup to make the sauce. It should be sugar-free to keep the sauce keto. Use the tomato paste plus stevia if required.

COCONUT AMINOS:

• Coconut aminos are used to make the keto sauce. It provides the umami flavor in them. You can also use the tamari instead if required.

ERYTHRITOL:

• Erythritol is used to add a sweet taste to the sauce. You can also use stevia or monk fruit instead if required.

XANTHAN GUM:

• It is employed to give the sauce a thicker consistency. We use xanthan gum instead of cornstarch to lower the carbs in the sauce.
