Notes
Pro Tips: For easier rolling, lightly dampen your hands before forming the balls. To control the spice level, start with 2 tbsp of sriracha and adjust to your taste—more for heat, less for mild. For a great make-ahead option, freeze the unbaked balls on a tray, then bag them; bake from frozen, adding 5-10 extra minutes. These pair perfectly with a cool dip like ranch.
