INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
SAUSAGE:
- We utilize sugar-free, low-carb sausage to keep the corn dogs keto-friendly while providing a savory and protein-rich center. You can replace it with low-carb chicken, turkey, or beef sausage.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE STICKS:
- Mozzarella cheese sticks provide a creamy, melted cheese center. As an alternative, you can use cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese sticks.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We utilize finely ground almond flour because it creates a tender and low-carb coating. As a substitute, you can use sunflower seed flour in the same quantity.
SHREDDED MOZZARELLA:
- Shredded mozzarella helps create a soft, cheesy coating and improves the texture of the dough.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan adds a savory flavor and helps the coating become crisp during cooking. You can substitute it with Romano cheese.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese adds moisture and helps bind the keto dough.
EGGS:
- Eggs help bind the ingredients and provide structure to the coating. They should not be omitted from this recipe.
GARLIC POWDER AND SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Garlic powder and smoked paprika provide a savory and slightly smoky flavor. You can use onion powder or Italian seasoning as alternatives.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the air fryer to 190° Celcius.
- Cook the sausage links and allow them to cool gently.
- Thread all the sausages onto a skewer.
- Stir the pepper, almond flour, salt, mozzarella, paprika, Parmesan, garlic powder, and baking powder.
- Whisk in the melted butter, eggs, and cream cheese till a thick dough is prepared.
- Distribute the dough into six equal portions and flatten all the portions.
- Cover the dough all the sausages and cheese stick, closing the corners.
- Put in the air fryer with space between all corn dogs.
- Air fry for almost ten minutes, cool for just two minutes and then serve.
TIPS:
- Completely dry the sausages and then wrap them so the dough will stick perfectly.
- Avoid preparing the keto coating extra thick, as it will take longer time to cook.
- Close the dough fully around the cheese to avoid extra cheese leakage.
- If the dough is extra soft, refrigerate it for just ten minutes and then wrap.
