Keto Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are a low-carb, delicious alternative to traditional breadsticks. Made with a blend of mozzarella, almond flour, eggs, and garlic, these breadsticks are perfect for those following a ketogenic diet or anyone looking for a gluten-free, savory snack. Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, they are baked until golden and offer a satisfying garlic flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until gooey. Stir in the almond flour, eggs, minced garlic, baking powder, and salt, mixing thoroughly to form a dough. It may be sticky but manageable.
  2. Shape the Breadsticks: Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape the dough into a rectangle about 8×10 inches thick. Score the dough into 8 equal breadsticks to make it easier to separate after baking.
  3. Bake the Breadsticks: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the breadsticks for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  4. Add Toppings: While the breadsticks are baking, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and brush the garlic butter evenly over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using.
  5. Final Baking: Return the breadsticks to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to set the toppings and ensure they are warm and flavorful.
  6. Serve: Let the breadsticks cool slightly before pulling them apart and serving warm. Enjoy them as a side to your favorite keto-friendly dishes or as a snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly shredded mozzarella rather than pre-shredded, as it melts more smoothly.
  • Almond flour can sometimes vary in texture; if the dough feels too wet, add a little more almond flour.
  • Garlic powder in the topping enhances the garlic flavor, but adjust it to your taste.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
