Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 385°F (196°C).
Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond meal, parsley, ginger, onion, and all spices.
Form Meatballs:
Use a spoon or your hands to roll the mixture into meatballs (about 40 small ones).
Prepare for Baking:
Place meatballs on a parchment-lined or silpat-lined baking tray. Lightly spray with cooking oil spray.
