Greek Inspired Paleo Meatballs

Meatballs are a favorite of mine for meal prepping as they are oh so portable and what's even better is that they still taste just as great the next day. Most meatball recipes contain gluten and or dairy but this recipe however, is free of any allergens or inflammatory items and is instead loaded with veggies and spices! This meatball recipe pairs perfectly with a light cucumber salad or roasted curried cauliflower for a low carb dinner or lunch!
