  • 1/4 red onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup oats(ground with food processor) or oat flour
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • On a baking sheet, pile cauliflower and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Mix around on the baking sheet to cover thoroughly, then spread out evenly.
  • Place in a preheated 350* oven for 20 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Remove cauliflower from the oven and let cool 5-10 mins.
  • Add the cauliflower, oats and garlic & onion mixture to a food processor. Pulse to combine, then put in a large bowl.
  • Add bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper and remaining teaspoon of olive oil.
    Mix well.
  • Shape into about 14 small size meatballs(if meatballs won't stay together, put in freezer for 7 minutes to firm and stabilize them).
  • In the same frying pan as the onions and garlic were cooked in; pour enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan on medium to medium-high heat.
  • Cook meatballs until browned on all sides and warmed through about 10-15 minutes(Lower heat if browning too quickly).
  • Serve with your favorite hot marinara sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
