  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Grease 24 mini muffin cups.

  4. Add mushrooms, garlic, onion powder, herbes de Provence, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Stir to combine.

  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese and almond flour.

  10. Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.

  11. In a separate bowl, stir together sour cream, chives, 2 teaspoons of parsley, horseradish, salt, and pepper to create a dip.
