These BBQ Meatballs Stuffed Potatoes are a perfect combination of savory meatballs and sweet, tender sweet potatoes. It's a hearty and satisfying Paleo and Whole30 compliant meal that's packed with flavor.
Ingredients: 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes. 1 pound ground beef. 1/2 cup finely chopped onion. 1/4 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut aminos. 2 tablespoons tomato paste. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste. 1/4 cup compliant BBQ sauce. Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick them with a fork in a few places. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the meatballs. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, almond flour, coconut aminos, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 10-12 minutes. You can also use an oven-safe skillet to finish cooking them in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes at 400F 200C if needed. Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, allow them to cool slightly, then slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Place 2-3 meatballs inside each sweet potato, drizzle with compliant BBQ sauce, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
