How to make ground pork meatballs (step-by-step)
Recipe tips
- For easier cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper. We do this whenever we bake meatballs in the oven and it saves so much time and effort.
- When making the meatballs, you can use an ice cream scoop to form the meatballs into even sized balls.
- For a nicely browned meatball, turn the oven up to broil for a few minutes at the end. Watch everything carefully to prevent burning.
- If you don’t have or don’t like fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or more coconut aminos.
- A great topping or sauce for these is a creamy ranch sauce or marinara sauce – both taste great with pork meatballs!
Serving recommendations
- With a creamy alfredo sauce and noodles.
- Use these keto meatballs with spaghetti squash noodles and marinara sauce for keto spaghetti.
- Toss some on top of a salad.
- With some eggs for breakfast.
- Paired with any roasted veggies for an easy and healthy dinner.

Baked Ground Pork Meatballs (Paleo and Keto)
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground pork
For the meatball seasoning mixture:
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp black pepper
Optional toppings:
- Diced chives
- Sesame seeds
- Red chili flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- To make the seasoning mixture, mix all of the seasoning mixture ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Place the ground pork into a bowl and pour the seasoning mixture all over the pork. Mix everything together with your hands until well incorporated.
- Now, form the pork into medium sized meatballs balls about the size those in the picture. You can use a small ice cream scoop if you have one, it makes it easy to form the pork into balls without everything sticking to your hands. This should yield about 20 meatballs.
- Place in the oven to cook for 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. If desired, you can turn the oven up to broil at the end for a few minutes to brown the tops of the meatballs.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle on toppings as desired. Serve and enjoy.
