Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, self-rising flour, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and gently fold it in until a dough begins to form.
Using your hands, take about 1 tablespoon of the dough and shape it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the balls about 1 inch apart.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving them warm.
Enjoy the vegetarian sausage balls as a snack, party appetizer, or breakfast option.
