Equipment

food processor
Oven
baking sheet

Ingredients

1/2 small jicama
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp real salt
1 lb ground bison
2 small eggs or 1 XL egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350
Peel and coarsely dice jicama. Add to a food processor with rosemary, marjoram, thyme, and salt. Pulse until the jicama is in small rice-shaped pieces (about 1 min).
Mix the spiced jicama rice with eggs and ground bison in a bowl until well combined.
Roll the meat mixture into 1.5" diameter balls and distribute evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake for 22-24 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Some of the fat will drip out with the excess moisture from the jicama, leaving a little tutu or halo around each meatball. This will easily scrape away leaving the finished meatballs.
