Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Sausage Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground Italian sausage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add Binders

    To the sausage mixture, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is sticky.

Forming the Sausages

  1. 3

    Shape the Sausages

    With your hands, take small portions of the sausage mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into small balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Carefully add the sausage balls to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the mini Italian sausages to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
