What you need
  1. 3 sweet potatoes, peeled
  2. 4 TBS coconut oil, divided

  5. 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  6. 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  7. ½ pound beef

What you do
  1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Using spiral slicer, cut sweet potatoes into noodles

  4. Add noodles along with 1 TBS of the sage, ½ TBS of the rosemary, the salt and the pepper.
  5. Toss the noodles to coat them in the coconut oil and let them cook down for 10-15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to keep them from sticking.
  6. When noodles are soft and slightly browned, remove the pan from heat.
  7. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, remaining 1 TBS of sage, remaining ½ TBS of rosemary, the garlic powder, and pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to form the meat into 18 meatballs.
  9. Heat the remaining 2 TBS of coconut oil in a large cast iron skillet (I used a regular skillet) over medium-high heat.
  10. Add the meatballs and cook on all sides for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly browned.
  11. Transfer meatballs to a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
