Yes, these tasty sausage balls are the perfect things to pack in your weekly meal prep or lunches. They taste amazing right out of the oven or a few days later heated up.

Easy Sausage Balls Tips

• Keep each sausage ball the same size. This way they will bake at the same rate.
• You can make these easy sausage balls in the air fryer. Most air fryers bake at the same rate and temperature as the oven. Check your air fryer’s user manual for specifications.
• Always cook sausage until the internal temperature is at least 160F.
• Keep cooked sausage balls in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to eat them.

Ingredients

If you bake low-carb often, you probably already have the ingredients you need to make these delicious sausage balls. Here’s what you’ll need from the store.

• 1 lb sausage
• 1 egg
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 375º. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. I like to use my KitchenAid to mix this, but you could use a hand mixer, a food processor or your hands.

STEP 2: Use a cookie scoop to scoop out sausage mixture and place on your baking sheet.

STEP 3: Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
