Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, almond flour, and baking powder.
Add the egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spatula until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Serve warm as-is or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
