• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 32 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound bulk sweet Italian chicken sausage

1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato

¼ cup grated Parmesan

¼-½ cup cornmeal (or plain breadcrumbs)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick spray or wipe down with canola oil and a paper towel. Set aside.

Mix all ingredients well in a medium bowl with clean hands. Start with 1/4 cup cornmeal and add more as needed to create a mixture that holds together in a ball shape. They will be sticky.

Form into golf ball size balls and place onto the prepared baking rack.

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cooked through and starting to brown.

Drain on a paper towel lined plate if desired. Serve with Marinara Sauce, Cauliflower Cheese Sauce, ketchup, or another favorite sauce.
