Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp Dried sage
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or neutral cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, and optional red pepper flakes for spice or maple syrup for sweetness.
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the ground pork. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the sausage tough.
Divide the pork mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the pan to heat up for 1-2 minutes.
Place the sausage patties in the pan, leaving some space between each patty to ensure even cooking.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Transfer the cooked sausage patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately with eggs, toast, or any of your favorite gluten-free breakfast sides, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
