These keto stuffed onions are packed with spicy beef and sweet red bell pepper and baked until tender and golden.
Peel the outer skin from the onions and slice off the very tops and bottoms. Carefully slice a thin segment from each onion, just enough to be able to easily peel the individual layers.
Add the peeled onions to a large pan of boiling water and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drain the onions and set aside to cool. Whilst the onions are cooling, very finely dice the bell pepper and add to a mixing bowl along with the beef, dried herbs and spices, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Once the onions are cool, carefully peel away three layers from each. Retain the remaining onion if desired for another meal.
Divide the spicy beef mixture into 6 even meatballs and arrange in the center of each of the onion strips.
Roll the onion tightly around each meatball, securing the filling inside.
Arrange the stuffed onions seam side down across a shallow oven tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Transfer to the oven to roast for 28-30 minutes, spooning over the cooking juices halfway through. The beef should be completely cooked through and the onion golden and tender.
