Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving these gluten-free Red Lobster sausage balls, the sky's the limit. They pair beautifully with a variety of dips—think zesty ranch, tangy barbecue sauce, or even a spicy mustard. Each dip can bring out different flavors in the sausage balls, making your appetizer spread even more exciting.

For a more complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables. This adds a nutritious element to your meal while balancing the richness of the sausage balls, creating a satisfying dining experience.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare, but it can happen!), storing them properly is key to maintaining their delicious flavor and texture. Allow the sausage balls to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for longer-term storage.

To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their crispiness, making them just as delightful the second time around as they were fresh out of the oven.

Made with almond flour, they offer a good source of protein and healthy fats, which can help keep you full and energized throughout your day. Additionally, the use of fresh green onions adds a bit of fiber and essential vitamins.

By opting for gluten-free sausage, you can also find varieties that are lower in preservatives and fillers, making this a cleaner option for snacking. Enjoy these sausage balls guilt-free, knowing they are a tasty treat that can fit into a balanced diet.
