Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my Keto & Low Carb Friendly Spicy Sausage Balls Recipe. If you’re looking for an awesome and healthy game day treat, this one is for you! Keep reading to see how I made this recipe and how ours turned out!
INGREDIENTS SAUSAGE BALLS RECIPE:
- 1 pound spicy ground pork sausage
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup of almond flour
- ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or salt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
HOW TO MAKE:
Option #1:
- Turn on oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray the air fryer rack.
- Combine sausage, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mustard, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined. Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of the pork mixture into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- My oven has an “air fry” option to which you would click the air fry option and then place the balls into the oven and allow to cook for 16-18 minutes until slightly browned on top and cooked through but if you’re using an actual air fryer I would set the time for the same and flip halfway. Maybe check to see if they’ve browned before.
- Let them cool for a minute or two on a serving platter and then DONE!
- ENJOY!
Option #2:
- You could also use a Ninja Air Fryer or even an Instant-Pot if you have one of those! I love the option of air frying just because I believe it locks in so much more flavor and moisture than just baking or cooking on a skillet.
Something about the cold weather just makes me crave allll the carbs, so it has been so fun finding new healthier alternatives of recipes I normally love this time of year!
