  • To taste Sea Salt
  • To taste Black Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chopped green onions, riced cauliflower, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well

Step 4

Gently roll the mixture into 1½ inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place the meatballs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each meatball for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Cover and simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through and tender (about 20 minutes)

Step 9

Serve hot over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and if in maintenance, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
