Cook the meatballs in a nonstick pan with some fat on each side until golden brown. It took about 3-4 minutes for me on each side. I also cooked the sides for a little.

You can serve the meatballs with a salad or cauliflower rice for a low carb option or with a tomato-based sauce and couscous, pasta or rice, like I did for these meal prep bowls.
