Keto Sausage Balls: the perfect keto appetizer

I can't think of a more traditional appetizer recipe than sausage balls. They have grazed countless holiday tables for decades. These keto sausage balls are the perfect low carb rendition of a high carb classic. In this recipe I used almond flour in place of the traditional bisquick used in the sausage ball recipes of old. It makes the perfect substitution, while keeping the perfectly dense, juicy texture.

What to serve with these sausage balls

I love to serve these keto sausage balls with a side of low carb barbecue sauce or even with my Dairy Free Keto Ranch Dressing Recipe or Keto Chive Blue Cheese Dressing recipe. And let me just tell you... these sausage balls aren't just for holidays, they are perfect any time of year. They are quick and easy, ready in under 30 minutes, making them the perfect quick and easy party appetizer.

I like to make a double batch and use them for meal prep throughout the week. They are portable, and reheat well. Great served alone, or with eggs for breakfast. Serve them up with a hearty salad for lunch or dinner. The possibilities are endless. I also like to mix things up a bit and whip these sausage balls up with some cream cheese and fresh herbs. DELISH! What is your favorite way to enjoy keto sausage balls?

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire cooling rack.

Form the meat mixture into 1 ½ - to 2-inch meatballs, making a total of 24

Notes

net carbs per serving: 3.5g
I recommend cooking these on a greased baking rack, on parchment paper, or on a silicone baking mat.
While sharp cheddar and parmesan is my favorite cheese combo for this recipe, you can use any combination of your favorite cheeses.
This can be made with mild or spicy ground Italian sausage.

This recipe is a keeper! I used breakfast sausage for this batch, I will try Italian next. I had a three onion dip mix on hand to use for dried onions. I did have to turn the oven up to 370 to get them crispy on the outside, but every oven is different. These satisfied my cravings for English sausage rolls.
