Low Carb Sausage Balls Recipe Ingredients
- 1 pound sage sausage, browned and drained
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- Parsley for garnish
Low Carb Sausage Balls Recipe Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the browned sausage, whisked egg, coconut flour, almond flour, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, melted butter, baking powder, salt, parsley flakes, and sour cream. Mix until evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small scoop.
- Place the balls in a well-greased baking pan or on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden and cooked through.
What to Serve with Low Carb Sausage Balls
Sausage Balls pair well with a variety of low-carb sides. Serve them over zoodles with marinara for a comforting, low-carb “spaghetti” meal, or plate them alongside roasted or grilled vegetables tossed with butter, salt, and pepper. They also work great with a fresh green salad or a dollop of sugar-free sauce or mustard for dipping.
How to Store Leftover Sausage Balls
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, the sausage balls will keep for 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze them on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat from frozen in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Variations of Low Carb Sausage Balls
Customize the basic recipe to suit your taste. Add a little hot sauce or red pepper flakes for heat, swap in different cheeses (pepper jack or mozzarella), or mix in chopped herbs like chives or basil. You can also serve them with marinara or a low-carb dipping sauce for extra flavor.
These sausage balls are a reliable staple for low-carb and keto eaters — low in carbs and high in protein. If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear your thoughts and any variations you create.
