Keto Sausage Balls with Almond Flour
You know that one thing at the party that’s gone before you even make it to the table? That’s these sausage balls. No fork, no dipping sauce, no fuss, just crispy, cheesy bites with a little kick and a lot of flavor. I’ve made the classic kind, but these almond flour sausage balls are just as good. A little less doughy, a little more texture, and just as delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Sausage
- 1 egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and place a wire rack inside.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix well. You can also use a food processor or stand mixer.
- If using a food processor, grate the cheese first and add almond flour, baking powder and process until combined. Add half of the sausage and process, then add the rest of the sausage and the egg and process until well combined.
- Using a small ice-cream scoop, form into balls about 11/2 to 2 tablespoons in size.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until slightly browned. Remove to wire rack to cool slightly.
