Description
Make these easy, low-carb garlic breadsticks using almond flour for a satisfying keto appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until soft, then stir until smooth.
- Add the egg to the cheese mixture and mix well until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- On a lightly floured surface (use almond flour), roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 10-12 breadstick shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the breadsticks.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier exterior, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve these breadsticks warm with a side of low-carb marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before rolling.
