When it comes to holiday keto appetizers, these keto sausage balls are always on my buffet table and even people who don't eat keto love them! But the flavor is just the same, promise!

Sausage balls are one of my favorite keto appetizers. These Keto Sausage Balls use almond flour instead of the bisquick traditional recipes use, additionally they are so easy to make you will be baking them all year long as a snack.

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.

Step 1 - 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 altogether, equally. Easy peasy!

Step 2 - 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!

Step 3 - Finally, 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. Additionally, you could even serve them with a dipping sauce or ranch dressing. Though I think it is not necessary due to the nature of the keto sausage ball being inherently greasy. Another option is honey mustard.

Can this keto appetizer be frozen?

These would freeze really well because they are like a meatball. Cool them completely after baking and place them in the freezer on the baking tray. Once frozen, place them in an airtight container that is freezer safe or a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 4 months.

Tips for the best low carb sausage balls

Cover your rimmed baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Because of the sausage, these can generally get significantly greasy.
Use a 2 tablespoon scoop for easy and even portioning of the sausage balls.
Use sharp cheddar cheese for a nice sharp bite, however, any cheddar will work.
