Paleo Spinach Artichoke Meatballs with Sundried Tomato Sauce

Here's the very first recipe! These little guys are super easy to make and would be absolutely perfect for that football tailgate/party you might be going to tomorrow. Just a thought : )

Spinach Artichoke Meatballs:

1lb ground beef
1cup Spinach Leaves
1-2 tsps Garlic
1/3 cup Artichoke Hearts
1/4 Yellow Onion
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Coconut Flour
1-2 tsps Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste

  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. While the oven is preheating, were gonna start mixing the meatballs, so get out a mixing bowl and the above ingredients
  3. Start by dicing the onion into very small pieces. Next chop up your spinach leaves and artichoke hearts (again, you'll want to make this pretty small). Add into mixing bowl
  4. Add in your garlic....mince up garlic (or just buy minced garlic-it's easier)
  5. Add your egg, coconut flour, oregano, salt and pepper and gently mix with fork or spoon to get the egg and coconut flour distributed throughout the mixture (these are your binders!)
  6. Time for the ground beef! This is where it's time to get messy. Go ahead and stick your hands in the bowl to mix everything up. Once mixed, simply roll up some meatballs to the size of your liking and place on aluminum foil lined pan. 
  7. Pop them in the oven for about 25 min at 350F...now onto the sauce!

I ended up making 22 meatballs, but depending on the size you make them, it could be more or less....

Sundried Tomato Sauce: 

1 8oz can Tomato Sauce (try to get no sugar/no salt added)
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes
Handful Spinach Leaves
Handful Almonds


  1. Place all above ingredients into food processor and blend....that's it!
Here is what mine turned out like...The pictures don't do them justice, but trust me, they are DELICIOUS! Hope you guys enjoy : )
