Instructions
- Place the shredded carrot and zucchini on a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
- Add the carrot and zucchini to a large bowl, along with the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, eggs, and bread crumbs. Mix until just combined.
- Scoop about ¼ cup of the meat mixture at a time and roll into balls.
- Pan-fry the meatballs in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat until all sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes, then add the marinara sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350˚F (180˚C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes. Warm up marinara sauce and serve on the side.
- Serve the meatballs with cooked spaghetti and Parmesan cheese.
