These low carb and keto sausage balls use almond flour instead of the traditional baking mix. They are a super easy keto appetizer with only 6 ingredients and 20 minutes to bake.
Sausage balls are one of my favorite keto appetizers. These Keto Sausage Balls use almond flour instead of the baking mix traditional recipes use, and they are so easy you will be making them all year long.
I’m trying to build up my collection of keto appetizers on my blog. Some others you can find here are Keto Deviled Eggs, Ham Roll Ups, Garlic Parmesan Wings, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, and Baked Brie!
They are all absolutely scrumptious and have very minimal carbs.
HOW TO MAKE KETO SAUSAGE BALLS
These are probably my favorite keto appetizer…I love to make a batch up and keep them in my fridge as a quick lunch during the week. To start with these keto sausage balls…toss all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Then get your hands dirty and mix it all together. Easy peasy!

Next, we use a small scoop to make sure all of the balls are an even size. I used a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop and made 40 sausage balls. The perfect appetizer size!
Place them all on a silicone lined baking sheet (you could also use parchment paper), and then bake them in the oven for 20 minutes.
That’s all there is to it!
I like to serve these keto sausage balls on a round platter with more dried parsley and paprika sprinkled on top.

These were so good, I was needing something to grab and go for breakfast or lunch, I did add a little garlic, red pepper flakes and rosemary. I cooked half, exactly 20 minutes and made up the other half to freeze before cooking. I did not get 40, only 32……….maybe my scooper was a little bigger………thanks for the recipe
Janet Hall says
I can’t wait to try these. How well do they reheat in the microwave? I want to make them ahead of time for a dinner party. Thanks! Janet
jenniferbanz says
I think they would re-heat well
Melissa Downey says
These are delicious! They are a breakfast favorite in my home! One question – what is the serving size for these? I know it yields 40ish for the recipe, but just want to be able to calculate this in my carb manager app. Thanks!

Erin Atkinson says
I used this recipe and fried the sausage balls instead, as I don’t have an oven at the moment. Added a little rosemary and red pepper flakes for extra kick, turned out great! Thank you Jennifer for this gluten free winner of a recipe!
Suzanne says

I made these with turkey sausage because the store was out of pork sausage. They were awesome! Thanks Jennifer!

These were excellent! They were actually better than the non-keto version I have made for years.
