Notes
For a crispy texture, ensure the sausage balls are evenly spaced on the wire rack to allow heat to circulate around them. You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mixture.
