For a crowd pleasing appetizer, change up the meat in your meatballs with sausage. Not only do these balls make a great appetizer, they are perfect for breakfast too!

You can make these tasty meatballs way in advance because they freeze well. And you can freeze them either cooked or uncooked. But they last longer if frozen uncooked.

One thing you may notice in these low carb sausage balls is that there’s no cheese. That’s because there’s plenty of flavor from the sausage and seasonings. But you can always choose to add it in if you’d like.

The recipe is really easy. However, it takes a little time to form the balls. So you’ll want to make them when you aren’t not pressed for time. It’s a great item to add for your weekend meal preparation!

Steps to make keto sausage balls

First, you’ll want to grab a large mixing bowl to dump all the ingredients into.

1. Add in the ground sausage and egg first. Then pour in almond flour Italian seasonings, and garlic powder.

2. After adding in the seasonings, it’s time to blend everything together. You can mix with either your hands or a rubber spatula.

3. Once you’ve blended the ingredients in the bowl, form the mixture into balls using your hands or a meat baller.

4. After placing all the balls on a lined baking sheet, bake them for about 20 minutes.

Dipping sauce for low carb sausage balls

If you like dunking meatballs in sauce, you can use a commercially prepared low carb ketchup or keto BBQ sauce. However, I like to make my own homemade sauces.

You may also want to try serving them with a simple low carb cheese sauce. Because the balls are seasoned, I wouldn’t use a spicy cheese dip.

Planning a party or get together with friends and family watching carbs? You’ll want to have a variety of low carb finger foods. Here’s some of my favorites:

• Salt and Vinegar Wings combine that saltiness you crave with the tanginess of vinegar.
• Cucumber Sandwiches with Cream Cheese are a popular tea party item. But there’s no reason not to serve them at other gatherings!
• Taco Dip With Meat can be served with lettuce wraps. Or serve them with a batch of low carb tortilla chips!
