ingredients needed for keto sausage balls - baking soda, sausage, shredded cheese, almond flour, egg
  • sausage—we usually use mild, but if you like a kick, try this with spicy sausage. Just make sure to take a look at the label and keep an eye out for added sugars and unnecessary additives.

  • almond flour—using flour rather than almond meal will give these sausage balls a smoother consistency.
  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • baking powder

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 160ºF.
  • Keep cooked sausage balls in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to eat them.

Storage

If you aren’t serving them right away, cool the balls to room temperature, then store in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Need them to keep longer? Follow the same instructions but place your container in the freezer, not the fridge. They will stay good for 3 months.
