Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin time with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and coconut aminos and remove the pan from the heat. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, salt, and pepper with the cooled onion mixture. Use a fork to mix until just combined. Use your hands to roll the meat mixture into 24 large meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each). Place an individual meatball in each cup of the muffin tin. Set aside. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the coconut aminos, tomato paste, hot sauce, mustard, and garlic powder. Spoon one teaspoon of the sauce over each meatball, and use the back of the spoon or a pastry brush to evenly coat the top. Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (no longer pink) when you cut into a meatball. Let the meatballs cool for 10 minutes before serving.
