Keto Sausage Balls
These savory keto sausage balls combine ground sausage, cheddar, cream cheese, and coconut flour into tender-centered bites with crisp golden edges, baked in just 25 minutes.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 16 oz ground sausage
- 4 oz shredded cheddar
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 °F and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. The parchment catches rendered fat and makes the browned sausage balls easier to lift from the pan.
- Mix the sausage, cheddar, cream cheese, coconut flour, egg, and salt until the ingredients form one cohesive mixture, then shape it into 30 balls. The dough should change from crumbly and uneven to moist, compact, and evenly flecked with cheddar.
- Bake the sausage balls for 15 to 20 minutes until they are cooked through. They are ready when the outsides are golden brown, the centers feel firm, and the pan gives off a lively sausage-and-cheese sizzle.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Soften the cream cheese fully at room temperature before mixing so it blends evenly without leaving cold pockets. Cheese tip: Grate cheddar fresh from a block rather than using bagged shreds to prevent oily separation while baking. Reheating: Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer to restore the crisp exterior, as a microwave can leave them soft.
