Keto Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the dough, covering it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the breadsticks are golden brown.
- Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Let the breadsticks cool slightly before slicing them into sticks.
