Ingredients:

• 1 small zucchini: grated
• 1 small carrot: grated
• ½ a brown onion: thinly diced
• Handful of fresh basil: roughly chopped
• 500g organic grass-fed mince (the lowest fat percentage should be 5% as you need to fat to keep the meatballs together)

• 2 cloves of garlic: minced
• 1 egg: whisked 
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius fan-forced and line a baking tray. Set aside.

3. To a medium-sized pan on medium heat, add some olive oil, butter or ghee. Sear the meatballs for about 3 minutes each side or until slightly golden. 
4. Transfer the meatballs to the baking tray and place in the oven for 6-10 minutes. 
5. Serve with your favourite passata or pasta sauce and gluten-free spaghetti. Dig in and enjoy!
