Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated zucchini (squeezed dry), finely chopped cauliflower rice, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Form the meat mixture into approximately 16-20 small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Thread the meatballs, bell pepper pieces, red onion pieces, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers. Aim for 2-3 meatballs per skewer.

Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with avocado oil.

Bake for 10 minutes. While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the sugar-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.

After 10 minutes, remove the skewers from the oven. Brush the meatballs and vegetables generously with the prepared glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Serve hot and enjoy your nutrient-dense, hidden veggie keto meatball skewers!
