Keto, Gluten Free Holiday Appetizer Made With Pork Rind Crumbs (Pork Panko)
These Pork King Good Low Carb Sausage Balls are one of our most popular recipes for a reason. They’re loaded with flavor, so easy to make, and perfect as a keto, gluten free holiday appetizer, game day snack, or party platter.
Instead of traditional breadcrumbs or panko, this recipe uses our Pork King Good Pork Rind Crumbs (aka pork panko), which keeps the carbs low while adding extra flavor and crunch. It’s a great option if you’re looking for low carb holiday party recipe ideas everyone will love—keto or not!
For a fun Thanksgiving or Christmas twist, mix in classic poultry herbs and serve them with a sweet-and-spicy jalapeño cranberry jam for the ultimate holiday bite.
Ingredients
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 egg
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheese of choice
1/2 Tbsp granulated garlic
1/2 cup Pork King Good Original Pork Rind Crumbs (or any flavor of choice)
Optional holiday seasoning mix (recommended for Thanksgiving or Christmas):
Pinch of poultry seasoning
Pinch of dried sage
Pinch of dried thyme
Pinch of dried rosemary
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine the sausage, egg, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, granulated garlic, Pork King Good Pork Rind Crumbs, and (if using) the holiday herb mix.
Mix until everything is well combined.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined or greased baking sheet.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the sausage balls are cooked through and lightly browned.
Serve warm. They’re delicious on their own, or dipped in jalapeño cranberry jam as a festive holiday appetizer.
