Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup almond flour, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano; mix gently until just combined.
Step 2: Form the pork mixture into 12 equal portions, flatten each portion in your palm, place one 4 oz mozzarella cube in the center, and seal the meat around the cheese to form meatballs.
Step 3: Arrange meatballs on a lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using), then spread evenly on a separate baking sheet.
Step 5: Roast meatballs and broccoli in the oven for 20-25 minutes until meatballs are cooked through (internal temp 160°F) and broccoli edges are crisp and golden.
Step 6: Serve meatballs hot with roasted broccoli on the side.
