Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

If desired, add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
