Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated. You can use your hands or a spoon for mixing.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them out a bit so they don’t touch.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. You can check if they’re done by cutting one open and ensuring there’s no pink in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They’re delicious warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Cheese Options: You can use other cheeses like mozzarella or a mix of cheeses for different flavors.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of freshness.
- Storage: Store leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your cheesy, keto-friendly sausage balls! They’re sure to be a hit whether you’re following a keto diet or just looking for a tasty snack.
